A Look at Property Assessments in

Where can I afford to buy a house? Compared to my neighbours, am I paying more property tax? Are there patterns that dramatically affect a house's assessment value?

This interactive map helps you answer these questions. Get started with some stories, or skip them to zoom in and click on a property.

NOTE: Property assessments are not what houses sell for. They can, however, offer clues on where affordable housing can be found. Assessments are based on many factors, not just location. Does a house have a garage? A furnished basement? Air conditioning? How old is it?
