ZIP Code 85378

In ZIP code 85378, near Phoenix, households bring in a median of $56,444 a year, while per-capita income sits at $30,458. A median home value of $274,500 paired with a county property tax rate of 0.44% keeps annual housing taxes near the lower end, though the 9.10% combined sales tax adds up quickly on everyday purchases. That gap between earnings and costs shapes how far each paycheck stretches, since everyday spending carries a heavier tax load than the home itself. Budgeting here means watching daily expenses closely, as sales tax takes a bigger bite than property taxes do.
