ZIP Code 11239

In Brooklyn's 11239, households earn a median of $38,015, with per-capita income at $31,959 — figures that place the area firmly in working-class territory. Yet median home values reach $573,300, an unusual pairing of low earnings with high property worth. The county-level effective property tax rate of 0.70% applies to that value, while the combined sales tax rate of 8.88% adds cost to everyday purchases. This combination means owners here face a notable tax load relative to what they bring in, even though the property rate itself stays below many neighboring jurisdictions.
