With a per-capita income of just $6,081, ZIP code 11439 in Jamaica ranks among the city's lower-income areas, where many households live on limited earnings. Property taxes in this Queens County ZIP run at an effective rate of 0.87%, and the combined sales tax of 4.38% applies to everyday purchases.
