ZIP Code 85553

In ZIP code 85553, near Hayden, homes carry a median value of $269,100, yet the county-level property tax rate of 0.51% keeps annual taxes comparatively contained. Households here earn a median of $50,762, while per-capita income reaches $28,144. That gap between home prices and earnings shapes how far paychecks stretch. A 6.60% combined sales tax adds to everyday costs. Whether buying or staying put, owners weigh a six-figure mortgage against incomes that, while solid, don't climb as quickly as housing values in this part of Arizona.
