Detroit, MI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 48127, serving a Detroit-area community, sits squarely in middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $60,742, while per-capita income reaches $28,931 — enough to cover daily expenses without stretching into affluent ranks. Homes carry a median value of $231,800, and the county's 1.63% effective property tax rate means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture reflects a working- and middle-class area where housing costs and taxes together shape the household budget.
