ZIP Code 48017

In ZIP 48017, near Southfield, homes carry a median value of $267,500 while households bring in a median of $88,812, and per-capita income sits at $52,175. At the county's 1.27% effective property tax rate, a home at that median value generates roughly $3,397 in annual taxes — a figure that eats into earnings more noticeably than the sales tax rate of 6.00% ever would. Whether that tradeoff feels workable hinges on how long a household has held its home and how much of its income goes toward the mortgage itself.
