ZIP Code 85251

ZIP code 85251, in the Phoenix area, ranks as an affluent community. Households earn a median of $92,851, while per-capita income reaches $85,871 — both well above national norms. Homes carry a median value of $554,400, yet the county-level property tax rate of 0.44% keeps annual bills comparatively contained given that valuation. Sales tax combines to 8.00%, a rate Phoenix-area shoppers will recognize at checkout. Taken together, this ZIP pairs high earning power and expensive housing with a property tax structure that stays restrained, so the overall tax load leans more on consumption than on homeownership.
