Households in ZIP code 93314, on Bakersfield's northwest edge, earn a median of $126,250 a year, with per-capita income at $49,393. That earnings level shapes how housing and taxes fit into the budget. A median home value of $543,900 paired with the county's 0.88% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $4,786 in annual property taxes.
