A dated, honest record of data fixes, corrections, and updates to PlainPropertyTax. We log every material change to the underlying data or how it's calculated, not just cosmetic site updates. See our corrections process and methodology for more context.
The homeownership rate field was hardcoded to null in the data pipeline for every county and state, so it never displayed on the site even though the column existed. We added the missing U.S. Census ACS variable (B25003_001E, total occupied housing units) to the fetch, computed the real rate for every geography, and verified the values against known reference points (e.g. West Virginia ~74.9%, Maine ~74.3%) before deploying.
First publication of property tax, home value, and effective-rate data for all 3,152 U.S. counties and county-equivalents, sourced from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates (2020-2024).
