Dayton, OH — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 45469, near Dayton, per-capita income stands at just $5,877, so even a low-priced home carries real weight. The county-level effective property tax rate is 1.73%, meaning a $100,000 house would draw roughly $1,730 in annual taxes — a sum that dwarfs what many here earn in a month. Sales tax adds 7.50% to purchases, trimming spending power further. Together these figures show how property taxes and consumption costs can strain households whose earnings are already thin, making homeownership in this part of Dayton especially difficult to sustain.
