Episode 1049
FM #1049 - Property Tax Data Insights - 08/10/23
This session of the radio show shares some Mass Property Tax Data Insights as analyzed by Max Morrongiello. We had our conversation in the Franklin TV studio on Thursday, August 10, 2023.
Max shares some insights from the linear regression analysis he performed with the available data from the US Census and Mass Dept of Revenue among other resources.
For example, Franklin property tax bills are about 4% less than the linear regression analysis would predict them to be.
The recording runs about 28 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Max on Thursday, August 10, 2023
