ZIP Code 48211

In ZIP code 48211, on Detroit’s east side, households earn a median of $35,725, with per-capita income at $17,957 — squarely working-class figures. Homes here carry a median value of $78,900, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.63% applies to that lower assessment, so annual bills stay small in dollar terms even though the rate itself is not. A combined sales tax of 6.00% adds to everyday costs. This is a community where wages and property wealth both sit well below national medians, and the tax structure reflects that lower economic base.
