ZIP Code 95525

In ZIP code 95525, near Eureka, homes carry a median value of $478,600 while households earn a median of $57,379 — a gap that makes buying here a serious stretch. The county's 0.64% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $3,063 a year on that median home, before any exemptions. With per-capita income at $44,105, that bill claims a meaningful share of earnings. Sales taxes add another 9.50% at the register, trimming what's left for saving toward a down payment. High home prices paired with a low tax rate still leave many local buyers facing steep monthly costs.
