Average per capita property tax base in Kansas is almost three times higher in rural areas than in urban areas, while per capita nonproperty tax bases (income and sales) are higher in urban areas. While local nonproperty taxes may not be panaceas for either rural or urban areas, their use has greater potential in an urban than in a rural setting.
