ZIP Code 85142

Households in ZIP code 85142, near Phoenix, bring in a median of $129,367 a year, with per-capita income at $46,676. That earning level shapes how housing and taxes land in the budget. A median home value of $593,500 pairs with an effective property tax rate of 0.47% at the county level, so annual property taxes stay contained even at that price point. Day-to-day purchases carry an 8.55% combined sales tax, a cost that adds up across routine spending. Together these figures sketch an area where strong incomes and comparatively contained property taxes leave room to absorb the higher sales tax on everyday goods.
