2020–2024 U.S. Census ACS 5-Year — Owner Real-Estate Tax

2020–2024 estimates; released January 29, 2026
Data
Place-level B25103 median annual real-estate taxes reported for owner-occupied housing units and its published 90% margin of error.
What it tells us
Describes the existing owner-occupied stock during the survey period; it is not a parcel assessment or a prediction of a buyer's post-purchase bill.

2020–2024 U.S. Census ACS 5-Year — Owner-Occupied Home Value

2020–2024 estimates; released January 29, 2026
Data
Place-level B25077 median respondent-reported value for owner-occupied housing units and its published 90% margin of error.
What it tells us
Provides a separate place median for tax-to-value context; dividing it into the tax median does not produce a matched-property effective tax rate.

2020–2024 estimates; released January 29, 2026
Data
Place-level B25003 estimate of owner-occupied housing units used as a minimum evidence gate and confidence cap.
What it tells us
Measures the estimated owner-occupied housing universe, not the survey sample size.
