ZIP Code 45055

With a per-capita income of $30,405, ZIP code 45055 sits in working-class territory, well below what many Ohio suburbs command. Residents near Hamilton pay a county-level property tax rate of 1.22%, a figure that takes a noticeable bite out of household earnings at this income level. The combined sales tax rate of 6.50% adds further cost to everyday purchases, from groceries to gasoline. Together these levies shape a tax environment where each dollar stretches less far than in wealthier corners of the state, and where household budgets leave little slack for unexpected expenses.
