ZIP Code 97214

In ZIP code 97214, which covers part of Portland, households bring in a median of $87,131 a year, while per-capita income reaches $65,876. With a median home value of $771,800, property taxes at the county's 0.96% rate would run roughly $7,400 annually, a meaningful line item against that income. Buyers here catch a break on purchases, though: the combined sales tax rate sits at 0.00%, so everyday spending isn't taxed at checkout. The gap between home values and earnings means housing costs absorb a substantial share of the budget, even as Oregon's lack of a sales tax eases day-to-day expenses.
