Above are the statistics a resident of the Tenney-Laham neighborhood has kept since buying her house in 1979. The two largest taxes, school taxes and city taxes, are shown. County, state, and MATC taxes along with state and lottery credits are not shown but are reflected in the total taxes column. No remodeling was done on the house duringt these years; the value of the house is a bit below average for the neighborhood. the 41% increase in 1995 reflects a neighborhood wide reassessment by the assessor’s office. The final column is the yearly change in the consumer price index.
