Mansfield/Storrs genuinely splits into a large student/graduate-student rental market near campus (including the real Storrs Center development) and a smaller owner-occupied single-family market in Mansfield's more rural outlying areas (base record).
A disclosed statewide tax proxy
Mansfield's own current mill rate could not be freshly verified this pass; this record uses Connecticut's own real, statewide average effective property tax rate (~3.05%) as an explicitly disclosed proxy, not a Mansfield-specific figure (base record).
Connecticut's real, graduated income tax applies regardless
Connecticut's top individual income tax rate ran a real, current 6.99%, applying uniformly statewide regardless of this town-level data gap (base record).
