Detroit, MI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 48213, on Detroit's east side, homes carry a median value of $56,200, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.63% works out to roughly $916 a year on such a home. That bill lands against a median household income of $34,003 and per-capita income of $19,155, so property taxes claim a meaningful share of earnings even though the rate itself is not especially high. Sales taxes add 6.00% to purchases. Low home values keep absolute tax bills down, but modest incomes mean the yearly charge still weighs on household finances.
