Chicago, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 60455, near Chicago, households earn a median of $66,745, with per-capita income at $29,879 — placing the area in middle-income territory rather than among affluent suburbs. Median home values sit at $236,600, and owners face an effective property tax rate of 1.91% at the county level, a meaningful annual cost on that valuation. Add a combined sales tax of 9.00%, and everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. Together these figures sketch a working- to middle-income community where housing remains within reach but the overall tax load, on both property and spending, takes a real bite out of earnings.
