Washington, DC — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 20064, near Washington, per-capita income stands at just $5,717, a figure that shapes nearly every household decision here. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.58%, while the combined sales tax reaches 6.00%. Those two rates pull at a budget from different directions: one applies to property owned, the other to goods purchased. With income this low, even a 6% sales tax adds up quickly on everyday spending, and any property tax bill takes a meaningful share of annual resources. Together, income and these rates sketch a tight financial picture for the area.
