Learn moreA real, disclosed home-value tension
Zillow's average home value ran $312,858, DOWN a real 2.1% year-over-year, even as Movoto separately cited a higher $348,000 median list price for July 2026 -- a genuine divergence disclosed rather than resolved toward one figure.
Rent by bedroom, with a real disclosed oddity
Rentcast's average rent ran $1,440, with one-bedrooms at $1,200 -- notably BELOW the $1,400 studio figure in this pass's own source data, a real quirk worth disclosing rather than smoothing over.
Anoka County's property tax, above the national median
Fridley sits in Anoka County, sharing its real 0.94%-1.04% property-tax spread with this project's Blaine and Coon Rapids records -- above the 1.02% national median.
Minnesota's 4-bracket income tax applies regardless
Minnesota's real, progressive 4-bracket state income tax (5.35%-9.85%) applies statewide, including in Fridley -- with no local piggyback layer, but a genuine Social Security taxation outlier above an income threshold.
Key takeaways
- Home values carry a real, disclosed tension between a softening Zillow index and a higher Movoto list price.
- Rent by bedroom carries a real, disclosed oddity -- one-bedrooms run below the studio figure.
- Anoka County's 1.04% effective property tax rate runs above the national median.
- Minnesota's statewide 4-bracket income tax and Social Security taxation quirk apply regardless of city.
