ZIP Code 11219

In Brooklyn’s 11219, households earn a median of $58,347, while per-capita income sits at $22,497 — figures that place the area below many of its borough neighbors. Yet median home values reach $1,137,300, an unusual pairing of moderate earnings with steep real estate prices. The county-level property tax rate of 0.70% eases some of that tension. Sales tax, though, runs 8.88% on purchases. Together these numbers sketch a working- to middle-income community where owning property still carries weight, and everyday spending is taxed at one of the city’s higher combined rates.
