Beale Afb, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of $25,306, ZIP 95919 sits in working-class territory, well below what you'd see in California's wealthier pockets. Homes near Beale Afb carry a median value of $344,600, and the county's 0.74% effective property tax rate means annual bills land near $2,550 on such a property. Sales tax runs 8.25% on purchases. That combination — restrained earnings against a six-figure-plus housing price — leaves little slack in household finances, so the property tax bite, though lower than many California counties, still weighs meaningfully against local paychecks.
