ZIP Code 10021

In ZIP code 10021, on New York's Upper East Side, homes carry a median value of $1,377,500, and the county's 0.92% effective property tax rate translates into a substantial annual bill. Households here earn a median of $158,677, with per-capita income reaching $150,790, giving many owners the means to absorb that cost. The relationship between earnings and taxes is tighter than the headline rate implies, since the levy applies to a seven-figure assessment. Sales taxes add 8.88% at checkout, a separate daily expense that doesn't touch the property bill but shapes overall cost of living.
