Philadelphia, PA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In Philadelphia's 19133, where median household income sits at $31,034 and per-capita income at $17,967, buying a home priced near the median value of $89,500 would mean annual property taxes around $734 at the county's 0.82% effective rate. That tax bill equals roughly 2.4% of a typical household's earnings, a real cost against limited paychecks. Sales tax of 8.00% adds further pressure on daily spending. The gap between what homes cost and what people earn shapes how attainable ownership remains here, even though the dollar amounts look lower than in many other places.
