Take a tour of taxes around the country. Using a hypothetical family of four (see below), we estimated their income, property, personal property, sales and gas taxes for two cities in each state and Washington, D.C. Each state is represented by its most populous city and another smaller town with a population of about 50,000.
Point your mouse to a spot on the map or a link below for a city's tax-burden snapshot, or sort the 101 cities' data in the accompanying table.
