Rochester, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of just $5,168, ZIP code 14627 sits well below what most American households earn, placing it among the lowest-income areas in the Rochester region. That low earning power is paired with a county-level effective property tax rate of 2.63 percent, a steep figure that consumes a larger share of a smaller income. Shoppers here also pay an 8.00 percent combined sales tax. Together, these rates mean people in this ZIP face a heavier proportional tax load than wealthier neighbors, even though their actual dollar contributions stay small because incomes and spending are so limited.
