Buffalo, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a median household income of $91,250 in ZIP code 14035, households here sit comfortably above the middle, though per-capita income of $31,730 points to a mix of earners rather than uniform wealth. Homes near Buffalo carry a median value of $278,100, and the county's 1.98% effective property tax rate means owners owe roughly $5,500 annually on a house at that price. Add an 8.75% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load is substantial, even with solid earnings. This places the area in middle-to-upper-income territory, where higher wages offset some, but not all, of what residents pay.
