ZIP Code 94118

In ZIP code 94118, on San Francisco's west side, households earn a median of $163,995, with per-capita income at $108,384. That earning power meets some of the steepest housing costs anywhere: the median home sits at $1,784,700, and county property taxes run 0.71% of assessed value, a bill that still adds up quickly at these prices. Sales tax of 8.62% applies to everyday purchases across the city, trimming what paychecks can cover. High wages here stretch less than the raw figures imply, since both property taxes and daily spending carry real weight against that income.
