ZIP Code 95974

In ZIP code 95974, near Chico, per-capita income stands at $36,354, a figure that shapes how far each dollar stretches across housing, goods, and daily expenses. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.69%, so a homeowner's annual bill stays tied to assessed value rather than rising sharply with market prices. Sales tax adds 8.25% to most purchases, a cost that accumulates quietly on everyday spending. Together these rates mean earning power here is squeezed less by property levies than by consumption taxes, making careful spending on taxable goods the bigger lever for stretching a household budget.
