Chicago, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 60208, part of Chicago, per-capita income stands at $3,210, a figure that shapes how far each dollar stretches. County-level property taxes run 1.91 percent, so a home's assessed value carries a recurring annual cost tied to that rate. Sales taxes combine to 10.25 percent, adding to what households pay on everyday purchases. Together, these three figures sketch the financial terrain: limited per-person earnings, a property tax that applies to whatever housing value a household holds, and one of the higher combined sales tax rates, all layered onto life in Chicago.
