With a per-capita income of just $5,895, ZIP code 98195 sits well below the Seattle area's economic mainstream, reflecting its student-heavy population rather than a settled workforce. Property taxes run at 0.83% of value at the county level, a rate that matters less here given how few households own property outright. The combined sales tax of 10.55% is the sharper edge: everyday purchases in and around Seattle carry that full rate, which weighs heavily against such limited earnings. Together these figures point to a decidedly low-income profile, where consumption taxes take a proportionally larger bite than property levies.
