ZIP Code 00601

In ZIP code 00601, homes carry a median value of $94,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.21% works out to roughly $198 a year on a home at that price. That tax bill is unusually light against a median household income of $19,454, though the low per-capita income of $10,223 signals limited financial cushion across the area. The real cost pressure shows up at the register: the combined sales tax rate reaches 11.50%, the highest kind of rate shoppers face anywhere, which eats into buying power on everyday purchases far more than the property tax does.
