San Jose, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In San Jose's 95111 ZIP code, households earn a median of $101,435, while per-capita income sits at $37,202 — a gap hinting at larger households pooling earnings rather than widespread affluence. Home values reach $850,700, yet the county's 0.67% effective property tax rate keeps annual bills lower than many California homeowners face. Sales tax runs 10.00%, among the state's higher combined rates, so everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. This places the area in middle-income territory: solid earnings, substantial housing wealth, and a tax mix weighted toward consumption rather than property.
