How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Sioux County, NE
In Sioux County, Nebraska, homes are affordable by most standards — the median value sits at $99,300, well below what buyers would pay in many parts of the country. That lower price tag comes with a higher tax rate, though: the county's effective property tax rate of 1.625% ranks fifth among Nebraska's 93 counties and exceeds the statewide median of 1.267%. The result is a median annual real-estate tax bill of $1,614, which buyers in Harrison or Edgemont should factor into their budgets alongside the purchase price. Households here earn a median of $53,929, with per-capita income at $31,599, so the tax bill amounts to roughly three percent of median household earnings. Nationally, the median effective rate is just 0.794%, making this county's rate about twice the U.S. figure — a trade-off worth weighing against the low entry cost of buying a home here.
