ZIP Code 92879

With a median household income of $92,229 and per-capita income of $34,916, ZIP code 92879 sits in middle-income territory for the Riverside area, though its $616,300 median home value signals real upward pressure on housing costs. Property taxes here run at an effective 0.78% at the county level, a rate that keeps annual bills from climbing as steeply as they might elsewhere in California. Add the 8.75% combined sales tax, and households face a steady but not overwhelming tax load — one that a middle-income budget can absorb while still carrying a sizable mortgage.
