ZIP Code 98407

ZIP code 98407, on Tacoma's north side, sits comfortably in affluent territory. A median household income of $110,288 and per-capita income of $63,292 run well above Washington norms, and a median home value of $656,600 reflects that prosperity. Property taxes stay contained: the county's 0.91% effective rate works out to roughly $5,975 annually on a home at that median value. Sales tax is the heavier daily cost, combining to 10.50%. Households here absorb that higher consumption tax easily given their earnings, while the lower property rate keeps ownership costs from climbing further.
