ZIP Code 95134

In ZIP code 95134, on the edge of San Jose, households bring in a median of $203,649, with per-capita income at $104,937. That earnings level shapes how taxes land on a budget. County property taxes run at an effective 0.67%, so a home's assessed value drives the annual bill rather than a steep rate. Sales tax, though, reaches 10.00% on purchases, a noticeable add-on for everyday spending. High pay paired with a low property rate and a high consumption tax means the mix rewards ownership over buying, and the household math leans on income strength to absorb the higher checkout costs.
