Official sources, transparent methods, no black boxes.
Effective tax rates calculated from U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates — the most authoritative source for U.S. housing data.
State averages use population-weighted formulas, not simple averages. A county with 4 million residents counts more than one with 50,000.
Every number is sourced and explained. Read our methodology to see exactly how we calculate effective rates, coverage, and limitations.
