Detroit, MI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 48243 sits in Detroit, where the county-level property tax rate comes to 1.63%. That rate applies to assessed value, so the actual bill depends on what a property is worth rather than on any single figure. Combined with a 6.00% sales tax, the overall tax picture here leans on consumption as much as on real estate. Detroit's economy has long been tied to manufacturing and the auto industry, and this ZIP reflects a working-class to middle-income setting rather than an affluent one. Neither tax stands out as unusually steep, but together they shape what households here keep and spend.
