ZIP Code 92655

In ZIP code 92655, near Irvine, median household income of $66,308 and per-capita income of $29,305 place the area in middle-income territory. Home values run high at $788,600, yet the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.66% keeps annual property taxes lower than many parts of California would demand on a similar valuation. Add a combined sales tax rate of 7.75%, and the overall tax picture stays moderate — not trivial, but not severe either. This is a community where earnings trail the price of local housing, a gap common across Orange County.
