ZIP Code 85542

Households in ZIP code 85542, near Hayden, report a median income of $29,022, with per-capita earnings of $12,507. That works out to tight margins, so everyday costs carry real weight. A 6.60% combined sales tax adds to each purchase, trimming what's left after bills. Housing looks different here: the median home value is $31,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.48% keeps annual taxes on such a home below $200, an unusually slim expense that frees up cash for other needs. Incomes this size leave little slack, making low housing costs the main source of breathing room.
