Ely, NV — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 89311, which takes in Ely and the surrounding area, households earn a median of $48,875, with per-capita income at $30,593 — a working- to middle-income profile by national standards. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.51%, a comparatively gentle levy on owners. Sales taxes are another matter: the combined rate of 7.72% applies to most purchases, so everyday spending carries a heavier share of the local tax load than real estate does. Incomes here sit below the state and national midpoint, which makes that sales tax rate a meaningful cost in daily life.
