ZIP Code 98375

ZIP code 98375, near Tacoma, sits comfortably above the middle of the income scale, with a median household income of $117,074 and per-capita income of $42,371. Home values are steep too, averaging $522,100, which places the area in affluent territory rather than working-class. The county-level property tax rate of 0.91% means owners of those homes pay a substantial sum each year, though the rate itself stays below many parts of Washington. Sales tax adds up faster: at 9.60% combined, everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. High earnings and high housing costs define this ZIP, and the tax load follows accordingly.
