ZIP Code 85033

In ZIP 85033, on the west side of Phoenix, homes carry a median value of $292,800 while households earn a median of $64,144. The county's 0.44% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $1,288 a year on such a home—about 2% of median household income, a lighter share than many Arizona homeowners face. Per-capita income sits lower, at $21,834, so single earners may feel the pinch more sharply than two-income households. Add the 9.10% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall cost of living here reflects both the area's mid-range housing prices and its steady tax load.
