ZIP Code 98651

ZIP code 98651, centered on Carson, sits in affluent territory: a median household income of $90,000 and per-capita income of $67,750 place it well above national norms, while a median home value of $730,700 signals a high-cost housing market. Property taxes are levied at 0.67% countywide, so owners of a home at that median value would owe roughly $4,900 annually. Combined with a 7.70% sales tax, the overall tax load leans on consumption and property rather than income, a structure that weighs more heavily on lower earners than on the well-off households this ZIP predominantly contains.
