ZIP Code 53219

ZIP code 53219, on Milwaukee's southwest side, sits squarely in middle-income territory: a median household income of $70,388 and per-capita income of $35,503 place it above many city neighborhoods without reaching affluent suburbs. Homes here carry a median value of $203,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.93% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add Milwaukee's 7.90% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases cost noticeably more than in many parts of Wisconsin. The overall picture is a working- to middle-class community where taxes claim a steady, visible slice of household budgets.
