ZIP Code 95651

Households in ZIP code 95651, near South Lake Tahoe, earn a median of $103,537, with per-capita income at $65,509 — figures that place the area firmly in affluent territory. Homes here carry a median value of $597,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.70% keeps annual tax bills comparatively contained despite those elevated valuations. Shoppers pay 8.25% in combined sales tax on purchases. That mix of high earnings, expensive housing, and a below-average property tax rate sets this ZIP apart from many California communities where steep home prices translate into heavier annual tax obligations.
