The total area, including all property, assets, and income that can be taxed by a city or state. If population growth slows in one city or suburb and shifts to another area, the tax bases of the different areas also change. The area people are leaving will see its tax base shrink. The newly popular area will see its tax base grow. If businesses leave an area that also shrinks the tax base.
