How property taxes in Northport have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median real estate taxes	$2,640 (±$555)	$3,293 (±$445)	+24.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$200,700 (±$34,316)	$295,200 (±$82,680)	+47.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$1,297 (±$254)	$1,500 (±$553)	+15.7%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
