Home values roughly in line with the state median

Greenfield's home-value figures ran $317,512-$368,739 depending on source and specific ZIP this pass -- close to, not dramatically above, Wisconsin's own $335,500-$360,000 statewide median as of mid-2026.

The highest property tax rate in this batch

Greenfield's median effective property tax rate (1.98%, Ownwell) is the highest of any market in this five-city Wisconsin batch, driven by Milwaukee County's own elevated 1.97% countywide rate -- resulting in a median annual tax bill of $4,714 on a $247,800 home.

A real, disclosed income spread

Greenfield's median household income carried a real, disclosed cross-source spread this pass ($46,194-$70,459) -- confirm current, address-specific income context directly given this wide range.

Wisconsin's 4-bracket income tax applies regardless
