ZIP Code 45417

In ZIP code 45417, on Dayton's west side, homes carry a median value of $75,100, and the county's 1.73% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $1,300 a year on a house at that price. With median household income at $36,945 and per-capita income at $22,080, that tax bill absorbs a meaningful share of earnings. Add the 7.50% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the squeeze tightens further. Low home values keep entry into ownership within reach, yet the tax rate and paychecks here interact in a way that stretches household finances.
