ZIP Code 22042

In ZIP code 22042, near Alexandria, households bring in a median of $138,255 a year, with per-capita income at $62,036. Home values sit around $715,800, and the county's 1.00% effective property tax rate translates into roughly $7,158 annually on a home at that price. Combined with Virginia's 6.00% sales tax on purchases, housing and everyday spending together claim a meaningful share of earnings. Even so, the income level here supports both, since take-home pay comfortably exceeds what the property tax alone requires each year.
