Households in ZIP code 98026, near Everett, bring in a median income of $133,638, with per-capita earnings of $66,456. That earning power meets a housing market where the median home value sits at $821,700, and county property taxes run at an effective 0.77% — a levy that adds up on a valuation at this level.

Even with strong incomes, the gap between earnings and home prices shapes how far each dollar stretches across mortgage, taxes, and routine costs.
