ZIP Code 98503

ZIP code 98503, part of the Olympia area, sits in middle-to-upper-middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $89,002, while per-capita income reaches $42,685 — figures that place the area above many Washington communities without reaching the state's wealthiest tiers. Homes carry a median value of $438,100, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.88% applies to that valuation. Shoppers pay a combined sales tax of 9.80%, among the higher rates in the country. Together, these taxes draw a meaningful share from local paychecks and purchases, even as incomes here remain solidly above average.
