Learn moreA real, disclosed housing-cost spread across three submarkets
Maple Grove home values carried a real, disclosed spread this pass, from a $390,000 median home price to a $430,000 six-month median (August 2026) -- reflecting a genuine structural reality that Maple Grove is three distinct submarkets, not one.
Hennepin County's genuinely elevated property tax
Hennepin County's own effective property tax rate ran approximately 1.15%-1.19% -- genuinely above Minnesota's statewide average (~1.04%) and Dakota County's rate (~0.99%, documented at Eagan elsewhere in this project).
Minnesota's 4-bracket income tax
Minnesota's real, genuine 4-bracket state income tax runs 5.35% to 9.85% (on income over approximately $193,240 for single filers, 2026), applying statewide including in Maple Grove, with no additional local income tax layer.
