Portland, ME — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 04019, in the Portland area, ranks as a high-income community. A median household income of $89,712 and per-capita income of $65,757 sit well above statewide norms, and a median home value of $802,100 signals genuine affluence. Property taxes follow that expensive housing stock: the county's 1.04% effective rate applies to a very large assessed base, so annual bills run high in dollar terms even though the rate itself is unremarkable. Sales tax is a different story, with a combined 5.50% rate that keeps everyday purchase costs comparatively contained.
