ZIP Code 94086

In ZIP code 94086, part of San Jose, households bring in a median of $177,054 a year, with per-capita income at $99,115. That earnings level sits well above many parts of the country, but housing costs absorb a large share of it: the median home value reaches $1,810,200, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.67% works out to a substantial annual bill on a home at that price. Day-to-day spending also carries a 9.75% combined sales tax. High paychecks here stretch less than the income figure alone might imply once property taxes and purchases are factored in.
