Santa Barbara, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 93067, near Santa Barbara, pairs a median household income of $71,134 with a per-capita income of $81,548, placing it in middle-income territory even as median home values reach $1,716,500. That gap between earnings and housing costs is striking, yet the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.65% keeps annual bills lower than many California homeowners face. A combined sales tax rate of 7.75% applies to purchases. The area skews affluent on housing wealth but far more ordinary on earned income, so property taxes stay tempered while day-to-day costs reflect the broader Santa Barbara region.
