Modesto, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 95355, in Modesto, sits squarely in middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $86,849, while per-capita income reaches $40,081 — comfortable, though not affluent by California standards. Home values run high: the median property is worth $469,000. Because the county's effective property tax rate is 0.71%, owners pay a comparatively restrained share on that value each year. Sales tax, meanwhile, totals 8.88% on purchases. Together these figures describe a solidly middle-class area where housing costs dominate, income keeps pace, and the tax load leans more on transactions than on property.
