ZIP Code 94611

ZIP code 94611, in the Oakland area, sits firmly in affluent territory. Median household income reaches $180,549, and per-capita income is $118,163 — figures well above statewide norms. Homes carry a median value of $1,537,700, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.78% translates into a substantial annual bill on that valuation. Shoppers here also face a combined sales tax of 10.75%, among California's higher rates. So while earnings are strong, the cost of owning property and making everyday purchases runs high, meaning a significant share of income goes toward taxes and housing.
