ZIP Code 96781

In ZIP code 96781, near Captain Cook, homes carry a median value of $828,500, yet the county's effective property tax rate of 0.28% keeps annual taxes on such a home near $2,320. With median household income at $96,400, that tax equals roughly 2.4% of yearly earnings — an undemanding share compared with many high-value markets. Per-capita income sits at $43,867, so buying at the median price still demands substantial income. A combined sales tax of 4.50% adds a further cost to daily purchases. High property values paired with a low tax rate shape the local affordability picture.
