Greenville's disclosed property-tax tension
Ownwell cites Greenville's median effective rate at 1.95%, above the 1.02% national median -- but this figure carries a real, disclosed, unresolved tension against conflicting statewide-comparison figures this pass could not reconcile (base record).
A severely depressed home-value tax base
Ownwell's cited Greenville-specific median home value ($40,805) and annual tax bill ($658) reflect Greenville's genuinely, severely depressed housing-value picture (base record).
Statewide-elevated homeowners insurance
