New York, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 10279, covering part of New York, ranks among the wealthiest places in the country. Median household income exceeds $250,001, and per-capita income reaches $396,326 — figures that place this area firmly in affluent territory rather than working-class or middle-income. The county-level property tax rate of 0.92% applies to real estate values that are themselves extraordinarily high. Sales tax in this ZIP totals 4.38%. Households here possess substantial financial capacity, yet the combination of steep property values and New York's broader cost structure means taxes still claim a meaningful share of wealth.
