The median property tax rate of 0.62% is higher than the state rate of 0.52%, though it remains below the national rate of 0.74%.

Income is the clearest weakness. The median household income is $46,052, well below the state figure of $63,832 and the national figure of $65,108. Rents that match state and national levels against incomes this much lower mean housing can take a larger share of household budgets than elsewhere.
