Rochester, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of $40,820, ZIP code 14515 sits in working-class to middle-income territory near Rochester. Homes here carry a median value of $94,800, which is well below what many buyers pay elsewhere, though the county-level property tax rate of 2.63% means owners still owe a meaningful share of that value each year. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and households here face a steady tax load on both property and everyday spending. Incomes and home prices stay within reach, but the tax rates themselves are not especially gentle.
