Buffalo, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In Buffalo's 14213 ZIP code, homes carry a median value of $211,200, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.98% works out to roughly $4,180 a year for a home at that price. With median household income at $53,870, that tax bill equals about 7.8% of annual earnings — a meaningful claim on paychecks, especially alongside an 8.75% combined sales tax on everyday purchases. Per-capita income sits at $30,304, well below the household figure, showing how many earners share each home. The gap between home values and local wages shapes who can buy and stay here.
