Assistant Rector SHOW INEQUALmES IN TAX ASSESSMENTS Northweatem University Experts Make Survey of Chicago Realty Property Parcels of Chicago real estate at the end oi 1926 \\'ere assessed for taxation at anvwhere from less than 5% to more .than 100% of their sale value. This inequality in asse ss met~t is P.?}nted out in a report entitled fhe Assessment of Real Estate for Taxation in Chicago, It publi shed by. th e Institute ior Re:-.earch in Land I·.con nomic s and Public Ctilities of !\orthwestern uni\·e rsity. The r epo rt is. th e result of a study which the In !'l tltnt c has · been conducting during th e pa~t year under the directjon of Dr. H. D. Simpson of its staff. In the coitrse o.f this study 6105 properties which ch~nged hand s d~tr ing the last part ot 1924 and dunng1925 were examined. The total salts value these properties in 1926 wa:; $218,688,900. They · were sel.ected cntireh· at random, representmg every towt;ship and district in Chicago. Two hundred eleven propertie s are in Sou~h Town 167 in Rogers Park, 226 111 Nortl; Town, 1145 in Hyde Park, 1672 in \\"est Town 894 in Jefferson, 761 in Lake View, Ss2 in Lake and 147 in Calumet. Forty-nine districts also were represe1· 1ted: the . Loop, . Englewood, Kenwood Lincoln Park, Hyde Park, Edge\\· at~r. Jackson Park, Au. s tin, Lake Vie"·, M.organ Park, Wa shmgt01; Heights, and so 011. Forty-fi~·e or these districts were represented tn the study hy at least ·twelve properties. Comparison of the prices for which these properties actually sold with their assessed values reveals the in equalities of assessment. In 1926, 17+ propertie s were assess~rl at. fron~ 0 . to 5% of their sale value, the mvesttgator discovered; 267 at from 6 to 10%: 457 at from 11 to 15%; 614 at from 16 to 20%: 927 at from 21 to 25%; 1003 at from 26 to 30%: 855 at from 31 t8 35o/c: 59+ at from . 36 to +0%; 403 at from +1 to 45%; 252 at irom +6 to SOo/c- : 139 at from 51 to 55%; 116 at from 51) to m·%: 73 at from (i} to 1)5%; ()2 at from 66 to 70%; 41 at irom 71 to 75 %: 35 at irom 76 to 80%; 29 at from 81 t o 85 % : 21 at from R6 to 90%; 17 at from 91 to 95%: 1.) at from 9() to 100%. an·l 13 "·ere assessed at 101 % or over. The average as essed Yalue of til t: \Yhole group of 6105 properties in 192(· was 31.3 % of sale Yalues, the report disclo:--es. This figure can he taken a:' ·indicatin· oi the general average f(·r Chicago, the Institute states, as a 11\1111 her of tests applied to these 6105 properties prove that they are a represen tativs sample of all properties in Chicago. There is considerable divergence, according to the experts, in the asses=-ments as between townships. In South Town the average assessed value was 48.3% of sale value; in Rogers Park, 33.6%; in North Town, 33.1%: in Hyde Park. 30.3%; in West Town 30.0% ; in Jefferson, 29.9%; in Lake View, 28.5%; in Lake, 28.5%; and in Calumet, 9.9%. The averages in six of the townships, repr~sented by 5501 properties, are below the general a\'erage of 31.3%, and the averages of three of the townships represented by 604 properties are above. In the 45 districts, each of which is represented in the study by at least 12 properties, the average for the district lowest assessed is 12.4% and for the district highest assessed 68%. The averages of twenty-eight. of the districts are below the general average of 31.1% and those of seventeen of the districts. are above. J.
