ZIP Code 48239

ZIP code 48239, on Detroit's western edge, sits squarely in middle-income territory. A median household income of $71,151 and per-capita income of $34,125 point to working households earning steady wages rather than wealth. Homes here carry a median value of $158,800, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.63% translates into a yearly bill that stays proportional to those values. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture stays consistent with a middle-income area: neither especially heavy nor especially light, but tied closely to what residents earn and own.
