Wicked Local TO THE EDITOR: It's been asserted by some recently that Weston has the highest property taxes in the state, with an average tax bill that is 38% higher than the average of nine peer towns. But is this the correct way to compare property taxes between towns? As an analogy, a recent CNBC article looked at the Fed’s latest Survey of Consumer Finances and learned that the overall average net worth of U.S. households is $748,800. But $748,000 is not truly representative of how much wealth most everyday Americans have to their name -- it’s way too high. The most affluent households in the U.S. skew the numbers, resulting in an average that’s well above most people’s realities. A better indicator is the overall median net worth of U.S. households, which is $121,700.
