Chicago, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 60630, on Chicago's northwest side, households bring in a median of $98,860 a year, while per-capita income sits at $49,502. That earnings level supports a median home value of $384,500, though the county's 1.91% effective property tax rate means owning such a home carries a noticeable annual bill. Add Chicago's 10.25% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases take a bigger bite than in many parts of the country. Together these costs shape how far a paycheck stretches here, with housing and consumption taxes absorbing a meaningful share of what households earn.
