ZIP Code 98119

ZIP code 98119, covering part of Seattle, ranks among the city's more affluent pockets. A median household income of $123,551 and per-capita income of $100,698 sit well above national averages, while a median home value of $1,047,600 reflects the steep cost of owning property here. King County's 0.83% effective property tax rate translates into a substantial annual bill on such a home, and Seattle's 10.55% combined sales tax adds to everyday costs. High earnings offset much of that load, though the overall price of living in this ZIP remains steep.
