Dixon — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In the Dixon area, ZIP code 59848 shows a striking gap between what households earn and what homes cost. Median household income sits at $37,188, with per-capita income at $29,926, yet the median home value reaches $462,500. Property taxes are collected at the county level at an effective rate of 0.53%, so an owner of a home at that median value would owe roughly $2,450 annually. There is no combined sales tax charged here, at 0.00%, which keeps everyday purchases free of that added cost. The result is a place where buying a home demands far more income than most local households report.
