ZIP Code 00959

ZIP code 00959 sits in working-class territory, with a median household income of $31,572 and per-capita income of $20,295. Homes here carry a median value of $152,900, and county-level property taxes run just 0.41%, an unusually slim levy that keeps annual bills from climbing too high on those values. The heavier cost arrives at checkout: a combined sales tax rate of 11.50% applies to purchases, shifting a meaningful share of the local tax load onto everyday spending rather than property ownership. Households earning near the median feel that consumption tax most directly, since it takes a larger bite from tighter budgets.
