ZIP Code 53235

ZIP code 53235, serving part of the Milwaukee area, sits in middle-income territory: households earn a median of $57,368, while per-capita income reaches $50,910. Homes here are valued at a median of $234,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.93% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a combined sales tax of 5.90%, and the overall tax load leans on working- and middle-class budgets. This isn't an affluent enclave, nor a deeply struggling one—it's a place where wages and housing costs stay roughly aligned with Milwaukee's broader economy.
