Chicago, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP 60624, on Chicago's West Side, households earn a median of $34,030, with per-capita income at $21,741. A median-valued home here costs $230,700, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.91% works out to roughly $4,400 a year for that price. Combined with a 10.25% sales tax, everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. The gap between local earnings and these costs shapes daily budgeting: housing takes a sizable share of income, and each dollar spent locally stretches a little less far.
