Big city taxes
How local and state taxes hit paychecks in 51 American cities.
Here's a look at what a hypothetical family of four making $75,000 a year would pay in major state and local taxes in each state's largest city and in Washington, D.C.
These estimated numbers, based on 2002 data, were compiled by the government of the District of Columbia.
