Gary, IN — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 46377, near Gary, the county-level property tax rate of 0.92% shapes what buyers can reasonably carry. Households earn a median of $38,958, while per-capita income reaches $37,704 — a gap that hints at smaller household sizes or varied earners within the same homes.
