Preliminary data: Millis is part of our newest batch of towns — its tax rate, prices, and demographics are estimates pending verification against municipal and census sources.
Monthly = mortgage (6.5%, 30-year, 20% down) + property tax at Millis’s actual FY2026 rate ($15.50/$1,000 = 1.55% of assessed value) + $175 insurance. “Income needed” keeps housing at 28% of gross income. Prices are market estimates, not appraisals.
