Raleigh, NC — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 27695, tied to Raleigh, shows a per-capita income of just $2,890, a figure far below what most wage earners report and one that points to a student-heavy or otherwise non-working population rather than a settled workforce. County property taxes run at an effective 0.71%, and the combined sales tax sits at 7.25%. With earnings this far below regional norms, the tax structure matters less as a share of paychecks than the raw scarcity of income itself, making this area an outlier even within Raleigh's broader economic mix.
