New York has no statewide level of assessment. Each of 1,200+ assessing units sets its own, and ORPTS publishes an equalization rate and residential assessment ratio per unit each year. 1.0 is used here as a deliberate floor — see the derived-ARV note — not as a claim that New York assesses at full value.
