ZIP code 97131, centered on Arch Cape, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $70,833 and per-capita income of $40,904. Home values run high at $459,000, yet the county-level property tax rate of 0.60% keeps annual taxes lower than many parts of the state. No sales tax applies here, so everyday purchases carry no added cost. Households earning around the median can support a home in this range, though the gap between income and property values means ownership still demands careful planning.
