ZIP Code 85042

In ZIP 85042, on Phoenix's south side, households bring in a median of $88,717 a year, with per-capita income at $41,283. Homes here carry a median value of $398,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.44% works out to a comparatively gentle annual bill on that price. Sales taxes, though, add up to 9.10% on purchases, a real cost in everyday spending. Together these figures sketch a budget where housing costs stay contained while consumption taxes take a steady bite, so day-to-day expenses deserve as much attention as the mortgage when planning finances here.
