How property taxes in Dunellen Borough 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 home value	$282,700 (±$12,370)	$393,500 (±$32,196)	+39.2%	Up after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$2,702 (±$176)	$2,752 (±$179)	+1.9%	Down after inflation

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

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