Detroit, MI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP 48208, on Detroit's west side, households earn a median of $36,194, while per-capita income reaches $33,700. A median-valued home here costs $176,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.63% translates into a meaningful annual bill against that income level. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the squeeze becomes clear: housing costs and consumption taxes together claim a sizable share of earnings that already sit well below national norms.
