Iowa City, IA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 52247, near Iowa City, sits in middle-to-upper-income territory, with a median household income of $91,450 and per-capita income of $41,555. Homes here carry a median value of $298,900, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.52% translates into a meaningful annual bill on that value. Add a combined sales tax rate of 7.00%, and households face a steady tax load across both property and everyday purchases. This isn't a working-class pocket of the region, nor is it among the wealthiest — it's a solidly middle-income area where earnings support homeownership but taxes still take a real bite.
