COST AND REVENUE
ANALYSIS: This table shows how costs
and revenues are distributed among
homeowners. The first measure -- per
capita cost -- is a general measure of
how much is being spent. The other
numbers are specifically tied to
residential property taxes. All figures
are presented on a "per homeowner"
basis. If a town ranks high in the cost
categories and low in the revenue
categories, the town will rank high in
taxes.

WHO PAYS?: This
table divides local revenues into four
categories, showing how the share of
local government costs borne by
homeowners varies greatly from town to
town. State aid combines municipal and
school funding; miscellaneous revenue
includes a wide variety of sources, from
parking tickets to surplus revenue;
non-residential tax revenue includes
commercial, industrial, and all other
properties that contribute to a town's
tax base; and residential includes all
taxes paid by homeowners.
