Aberdeen, WA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 98571 centers on Aberdeen, where the county-level property tax rate stands at 0.80%, and the combined sales tax reaches 8.90%. A rate near four-fifths of a percent points to a working-class to middle-income area rather than an affluent one, since higher-value communities often carry steeper levies. The sales tax, at just under nine cents on the dollar, adds a noticeable cost to everyday purchases, from groceries to hardware. Together these figures sketch a place where households watch both their annual tax bill and their weekly spending, and where the overall tax load leans on consumption as much as on property ownership.
