ZIP Code 98331

ZIP code 98331, centered on Port Angeles, sits in middle-income territory. A median household income of $62,135 and per-capita income of $31,544 point to a working- and middle-class mix rather than an affluent one. Housing values reflect that: the median home stands at $230,500, and with the county's 0.71% effective property tax rate, annual taxes run well below what higher-priced markets command. The combined sales tax rate of 8.60% adds a steady cost to everyday purchases, a heavier share of the load for households at this income level than for wealthier ones.
