ZIP Code 14131

With a median household income of $85,909 and per-capita income of $41,917, ZIP code 14131 sits in middle-income territory near Niagara Falls. Homes here carry a median value of $211,800, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.19% takes a meaningful bite out of ownership costs each year. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load is noticeable rather than slight. This is a working- to middle-income area where earnings are solid but not high enough to make those rates painless, and housing costs and taxes together shape the household budget.
