Demographics - Socio Statistics - Government Datasets, Statistical Data & Census Information

Demographic-socio datasets encapsulate a wealth of information about human populations, covering a broad spectrum of socio-economic indicators, demographic characteristics, and behavioral patterns. These datasets serve as invaluable resources for researchers, policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders seeking insights into population dynamics, societal trends, and disparities. They encompass diverse data points such as age, gender, income, education, employment, housing, health, and cultural preferences. By analyzing and interpreting these datasets, users can uncover correlations, identify emerging trends, and make informed decisions in areas ranging from public health to urban planning to marketing strategies. Furthermore, demographic-socio datasets play a pivotal role in addressing societal challenges, informing policy formulation, and driving evidence-based interventions to foster inclusive growth and improve communities' well-being. With advancements in data collection methods and technology, these datasets continue to evolve, offering ever-expanding opportunities for exploration, analysis, and impactful decision-making.

Property Taxes By State A property tax is a municipal tax levied by counties, cities, or special tax districts on most types of real estate - including homes, businesses, and parcels of land. The amount of property tax owed depends on the appraised fair market value of the property, as determined by the property tax assessor. Because the calculations used to determine property taxes vary widely from county to county, the best way to compare property taxes on a large scale is by using aggregate data. On Tax-Rates.org, our data allows you to compare property taxes across states and counties by median property tax in dollars, median property tax as percentage of home value, and several other benchmarks. You can use the property tax map above to view the relative yearly property tax burden across the United States, measured as percentage of home value. To estimate your yearly property tax in any county based on these statistics, you can use our property tax calculator. To find more detailed property tax statistics for your area, find your county in the list on your state's page.
