ZIP Code 94706

Households in ZIP code 94706, near Oakland, earn a median of $143,398, with per-capita income at $76,222. That earnings base faces a 10.25% combined sales tax, which adds noticeably to everyday purchases. Property values run high here, with the median home at $1,203,500, yet the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.78% keeps annual taxes lower than many California homeowners might expect given that price tag. Together, strong incomes and a below-average rate on expensive housing shape how far each dollar stretches across daily spending and long-term costs.
