Details

The data have been cleaned somewhat, with emphasis on somewhat. For example,there is a property (a very nice one), which has an extremely low assessed value, given its characteristics. It happens to straddle the border between New Haven and Hamden, and so it pays only a proportion of it's property taxes to the City of New Haven.
