‘Highballed’: Data shows tax assessment inequalities affecting longtime homeowners

SUMMARY: Longtime homeowners in historically Black neighborhoods like Hillsborough face disproportionate property tax burdens compared to wealthier, mostly white areas nearby. Beverly Walton, a 66-year resident of Renshaw Street, inherited her home but struggles to afford rising taxes despite no renovations. Her house, valued lower than newer homes, is taxed at a higher rate, leading to financial strain on fixed incomes. Data from Wake, Durham, and Orange counties reveal majority nonwhite neighborhoods pay about $9 more per $100,000 in home value, despite lower average home prices. Advocates call for fairer assessments to prevent pricing out longtime residents amid regional growth.

SUMMARY: Severe flooding in the Triangle region has caused two deaths, sinkholes, and downed trees. In Nash County, 55-year-old Raymond Evans Jr. and 24-year-old Lahie Alustin died after their minivan was swept into a ravine. Evans heroically tried to save Alustin after police efforts failed. A memorial has grown at the site. In Apex, heavy rain caused a sinkhole on Olive Chapel Road, collapsing a section already slated for repairs. Town officials are working with the Department of Transportation to expedite repairs, possibly earlier than the initially expected November timeline. Residents face detours and ongoing disruptions.

WRAL is tracking the impact of severe flooding that occurred all through Wednesday. Rain will continue on-and-off on Thursday, and it could be heavy at times.
