Chicago, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 60025, near Chicago, homes carry a median value of $521,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.91% translates into a substantial annual bill. Households here earn a median of $126,904, with per-capita income at $73,977 — enough to absorb that cost, though the gap between earnings and home prices still shapes who can buy in. Add a combined sales tax of 9.00%, and daily purchases chip away further. Ownership here demands real income, and the property tax alone claims a meaningful share of it each year.
