The Fair Share Report

272 Maple Ave

Wallington, NJ 07073

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $677,385

Likely range $605,874 – $774,372, from 12 comparable Wallington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

96.76%

The state's official measure of how far Wallington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $677,385 home should be assessed near $655,438.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$539,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $115,638 below what the ratio math suggests (17.6%).

$1.950 per $100 assessed

$1.011 Schools · 52% $0.226 County · 12% $0.714 Town · 37%
