ZIP Code 97498

Households in ZIP code 97498, near Eugene, bring in a median of $67,188 a year, while per-capita income comes to $46,895. With a median home value of $511,500, property taxes at the county's 0.82% rate would run roughly $4,194 annually, a meaningful line item against that income. Oregon's lack of a sales tax at 0.00% offsets some of the strain, since everyday purchases carry no added cost. The gap between home values and earnings means housing consumes a sizable share of the budget, and buyers here should weigh property tax bills carefully alongside mortgage costs.
