Pulaski County Ranked High on U.S. List of Average Net Capital Gains

1 min read

This map reflects the percentage of taxpayers reporting net capital gains — the profits from sales of capital assets such as stock or real estate — by county in 2012. The shading of the counties is based on their rank out of 3,124 counties in the United States, with darker shades indicating higher values.

Pulaski County had average net capital gains of $53,505, ranking it at 51 out of all U.S. counties based on the dollar amount. The percentage of taxpayers in Pulaski County reporting net capital gains stood at 13.5 percent, ranking the county at 1,516 based on percentage.

The map is based on a report released last month by the Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. The report, “Net Capital Gains Across ZIP Codes” by Benjamin H. Harris and Lucie Parker, uses ZIP code-level data on taxes and demographics to examine net capital gains.

The interactive map and the report can be found at Brookings.edu.
