Binghamton, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 13826, near Binghamton, households earn an average of $42,372 per person, while homes are valued around $211,500. The county's 2.52% effective property tax rate means a home at that value would draw roughly $5,330 in annual taxes, a real line item against that income. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and daily spending carries a noticeable premium too. Together, these costs shape how far a paycheck stretches here — housing and consumption both take meaningful bites, so careful planning around taxes matters as much as the earnings figure itself.
