Paulina — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of $40,841, ZIP code 97751, centered on Paulina, sits in middle-income territory, well above many rural Oregon communities but short of the state's wealthiest enclaves. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.64%, so a household's annual bill stays contained even as home values shift. What stands out most is the combined sales tax rate of 0.00% — Oregon collects no state or local sales tax, meaning everyday purchases here carry no added levy. Income and property taxes therefore do the heavy lifting, and the overall tax picture leans gentler than in most states.
