Introduction: Iredell County is located in North Carolina with a population of 159,437. The largest town is Mooresville where there is the major hub of NASCAR. Though the county has experienced a lot of suburbanization, the majority is still rural and is home to large dairy farming areas.
Problem Statement: Iredell County is a major hub of Nascar, as well as a Dairy farming area. Because of this large amount of potential income to the area, I would like to analyze the differences in property tax rates when comparing the Mooresville area to the more rural Statesville area. Also, I would like to see what effect, economically, each industry has on its’ respective area.
