Rochester, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 14611, on Rochester's west side, sits squarely in working-class territory. A median household income of $31,376 and per-capita income of $22,510 fall well below national norms, while the median home value of $82,400 reflects a housing stock priced for buyers with limited means. Property taxes compound the squeeze: the county's 2.63% effective rate means even a lower-value home carries a meaningful annual bill. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and households here devote a substantial share of earnings to taxes at every turn — income, property, and spending alike.
