Fascinating numbers, Jeremy - thanks for the link.

The city rankings mostly include numbers that, in Minnesota, are 
controlled by the state (income & auto, and most of sales).

In the number most controlled locally - property taxes - Minneapolis, 
incredibly, ranks BELOW the 51-city average ($2,582 versus $2,836) and 
just a titch above the 51-city median ($2,582 versus $2,501).

In the other number with local effects - sales taxes - Minneapolis is 
considerably lower than both the average and median ($997 versus $1,194 
and $1,144, respectively).
