Chicago, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In Chicago's 60633, homes carry a median value of $186,800, and the county's 1.91% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $3,568 a year on such a home. With median household income at $62,458, that tax bill absorbs about 5.7% of annual earnings, a real cost for working families. Per-capita income sits lower, at $30,044, so individual earners feel the pinch more sharply. Add the 10.25% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and daily expenses climb further. Ownership here demands careful budgeting, since housing costs and consumption taxes together stretch each paycheck.
