Milwaukee, WI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP 53202, on Milwaukee's east side, households earn a median of $71,034, while per-capita income reaches $66,952. Buying here means weighing a $340,800 median home value against county property taxes of 1.93%, which adds roughly $6,577 a year to housing costs. Sales taxes combine to 7.90%, so everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. Those figures shape how far a paycheck stretches: a solid income still meets above-average housing prices and one of the higher combined sales tax rates in the region. Anyone weighing a move to this ZIP should plan for property taxes as a recurring line item, not an afterthought.
