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 Loíza Municipio, PR
Loíza Municipio carries an effective property tax rate of 0.563%, which sits above Puerto Rico's statewide median of 0.389% but well below the national median of 0.794%. Among the territory's 72 counties, it ranks 13th highest for property tax rate. On a median home value of $111,000, that rate yields an annual real-estate tax bill of about $625. Households here earn a median of $24,272, with per-capita income at $13,835 — figures that make the gap between Loíza's rate and the state median meaningful, since a higher rate against lower incomes takes a larger share of what people bring in. The county's position above the state norm but beneath the national one signals a middle ground: heavier property taxation than much of Puerto Rico, yet still lighter than what many mainland jurisdictions levy.
