Benton, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 96133, near Benton, per-capita income stands at $11,553, so housing costs weigh heavily against what people bring in. The county's effective property tax rate of 0.65% looks gentle on paper, yet a home priced at even $150,000 would generate roughly $975 in annual taxes — a sum that eats into a budget already stretched thin by low earnings. Sales tax adds 7.75% to purchases, trimming spending power further. Together these figures show how property taxes and daily costs can squeeze households here, where income growth rarely keeps pace with even low tax rates.
