ZIP Code 95558

Earning a median household income of $51,719 in ZIP code 95558, near Eureka, means housing costs weigh heavily against annual pay. A median home value of $566,200 is more than ten times that income, though the county's 0.64% effective property tax rate keeps the yearly tax bill lower than many California markets. Day-to-day spending also carries a 9.50% combined sales tax, which adds up on groceries, gas, and other purchases. With per-capita income at $32,795, households here balance a high-priced housing market against below-average earnings, making careful budgeting essential across both property and sales taxes.
