Property taxes, homeowner costs and home values by state
Each row is one state's median real estate property taxes paid, median monthly owner costs for homes with a mortgage, and median home value, all from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2024 vintage. The effective property-tax rate divides the first median by the third; it is a ratio of two published medians, not a rate any single household pays.

How is this measured?
| Median real estate property taxes paid (B25103_001E) | U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey acs/acs5, variable B25103_001E, 2024 vintage |
|---|---|
| Median selected monthly owner costs, homes with a mortgage (B25088_002E) | U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey acs/acs5, variable B25088_002E, 2024 vintage |
| Median home value (B25077_001E) | U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey acs/acs5, variable B25077_001E, 2024 vintage |
Every figure is a median of state estimates, never a total and never a national average of state medians. A state is shown only when all three ACS figures exist for it in the same release; a state with any figure missing is left out rather than published with a gap. The effective property-tax rate is the median property taxes paid divided by the median home value, multiplied by 100 and rounded to two decimals.
The effective property-tax rate is the ratio of the two state medians (median property taxes paid over median home value) and is not an ACS table, an individual household's rate, or a billing figure.
