Portland, OR — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 97027, in the Portland area, sits comfortably in middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $94,375, with per-capita income at $49,210 — solidly above national averages without reaching the wealthiest brackets. Homes carry a median value of $484,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.85% means owners pay a comparatively restrained share of that value each year. A 0.00% combined sales tax rate stands out sharply, since Oregon levies no statewide sales tax, so everyday purchases here carry no added cost. Together, these figures describe a stable, middle-class community where housing wealth and take-home pay stretch further than in many metro areas.
