ZIP Code 13244

In ZIP code 13244, near Syracuse, per-capita income stands at $4,318, a figure shaped largely by the student population attending Syracuse University. County-level property taxes run 2.44% of assessed value, and the combined sales tax rate is 8.00%. Those two rates matter differently here: homeowners face a meaningful annual property tax bill, while renters and students absorb the sales tax on everyday purchases. With income this low on paper, the 8.00% sales tax takes a noticeable bite out of each dollar spent, and the 2.44% property levy weighs on any household that does own property in the area.
