The rate gave way faster than almost anywhere
Between the 2020 and 2024 releases the median home value in Gogebic County rose 45.9%, from $73,500 to $107,200. The effective rate fell 23.8% over the same span, a steeper move than in 92% of U.S. counties.
The median bill still rose 11.1%, to $1,535. Where the rate drops this far and the bill rises anyway, what changed is the value the rate is applied to.
Effective rate is the published median bill divided by the published median home value, so the two multiply back to the bill exactly; the rate's movement here is derived from those two figures rather than read from the rounded published rate. Both are ACS 5-year survey estimates for the median owner-occupied household, compared across non-overlapping releases. They describe what the Census published, not a local policy, assessment, or exemption change.
How to read this county's bill
Bills rose across 2020-2024, from $1,382 to $1,535, a gain of 11%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The fullest band here is the $800 to $1,499 range, holding 1,580 of 5,660 owner-occupied homes (27.9%). The band shows where the largest share of reported owner-occupied households falls; it is not an individual-bill estimate.
This is the least forgiving PAIRING in the data, bottom-quartile household income with a top-quartile effective rate, putting the median bill at 2.9% of median household income. Neither figure is remarkable on its own; the combination is, and the ratio above is the only part of it a household actually feels.
The share above is the median annual bill divided by median household income, a ratio of two county-level medians rather than a household-by-household figure.
