Learn moreA disclosed housing-data proxy
Hartville's genuinely tiny size (approximately 64 residents) means this pass's research did not surface a reliable, town-specific median home value -- this record discloses that directly and uses Platte County's own county-level median sale price (approximately $223,000) as an honest proxy, well below the approximately $408,776 national median this dataset cites elsewhere (base record).
The lowest property tax rate in Platte County
Hartville's own cited median effective property tax rate runs approximately 0.67% -- the LOWEST rate cited anywhere in Platte County (against a county-wide median of approximately 0.69%), and well below the approximately 1.02% national median (base record).
No state income tax, plus a low statewide sales tax
Wyoming's Constitution forbids a state individual income tax outright, a real, current fact that applies fully in Hartville. Wyoming's own 4.00% state sales tax rate, plus up to 2% local option, applies as well (base record).
A real, disclosed cost-of-living research gap
This pass's research budget did not develop a Hartville-specific cost-of-living index -- a real, disclosed gap this record names honestly rather than inventing a number (base record).
