Housing runs genuinely affordable, with a disclosed tension

A cited median home value of approximately $228,000 runs modestly below North Dakota's own statewide average, though this record discloses a real, unresolved tension against a separately-cited $777,000 median list price (base record).

Rent runs remarkably low

Garrison's cited rent (~$616-$670/month) runs among the lowest figures cited across this project's entire dataset (base record).

North Dakota's real, low state income tax applies

North Dakota's top marginal income tax rate (2.50%, per this project's North Dakota state record) is described by multiple sources as the lowest of any state that levies an income tax at all (base record).

Property tax cites McLean County-wide figures

No Garrison-specific property tax rate was independently confirmed; this record cross-references McLean County's own disclosed 1.04%-1.12% cross-source spread (base record).
