The Fair Share Report

53 Wright St

Newark, NJ 07114

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

≈ $331,019

Likely range $318,114 – $393,744, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

40.69%

The state's official measure of how far Newark assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $331,019 home should be assessed near $134,692.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$14,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $120,092 below what the ratio math suggests (89.2%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Newark home

$3.999 per $100 assessed

$1.162 Schools · 29% $0.519 County · 13% $2.318 Town · 58%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Newark pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
