Akron, OH — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In the Akron area, ZIP code 44325 pairs a 1.53% county effective property tax rate with per-capita income of just $5,871. That income figure is unusually low, which sharpens the weight of any property tax bill: a home assessed at even $100,000 would generate roughly $1,530 in annual taxes, a sum that looms large against such earnings. Sales taxes add 6.75% at the register, trimming spending power further. The result is a market where assessed value and take-home pay pull in opposite directions, and where even a modestly priced home can carry a tax load that strains household finances.
