How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

Other named communities in Jackson County (20)
These names come from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which records historical and local names of populated places: small settlements, neighborhoods, rural localities and former towns. The Census Bureau does not report them as cities, towns or census-designated places, so no figures exist for them at this level. The county figures above are the closest available estimate. A name can appear for a place that no longer exists or that lies inside a larger place.
