What Is Neighborhood Median?

Definition
The middle value when all property assessments (or price-per-square-foot figures) in a defined neighborhood are ranked from lowest to highest. Half of the properties fall above this value and half fall below.

Why This Matters for Your Protest

Comparing your property's assessed value per square foot to the neighborhood median instantly reveals whether you are an outlier. If your assessment is well above the median, you have a strong unequal appraisal argument. Even if your home is worth more on paper, the district should not be taxing you disproportionately compared to your neighbors.
