Milwaukee, WI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of just $11,441, ZIP code 53295 sits firmly in working-class territory, well below what most Milwaukee-area households earn. The county-level property tax rate of 1.93% adds real weight to owning a home here, since that percentage applies regardless of a property's price. Shoppers also pay a combined 7.90% sales tax, a figure that chips away at spending power in a place where incomes are already stretched. Together, these rates mean taxes claim a meaningful share of local earnings, and the gap between this ZIP's income level and the broader region's is hard to miss.
