ZIP Code 60050

In ZIP code 60050, near Waukegan, households earn a median of $88,812, while per-capita income sits at $45,331. That earnings level supports a median home value of $263,700, though the county's 2.36% effective property tax rate takes a meaningful bite each year. Add a combined sales tax of 7.00%, and everyday spending carries its own cost. Together these rates shape how far a paycheck stretches: housing and purchases both draw on income before anything else. Budgeting here means weighing a solid median wage against property and sales taxes that claim their share throughout the year.
