Preliminary data: Sudbury 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 Sudbury’s actual FY2026 rate ($14.50/$1,000 = 1.45% of assessed value) + $175 insurance. “Income needed” keeps housing at 28% of gross income. Prices are market estimates, not appraisals.
