Wenatchee, WA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP 98821, near Wenatchee, households bring in a median of $134,233, while per-capita income sits at $35,351. The county's effective property tax rate of 0.71% means a home's assessed value drives the annual bill directly: a $400,000 house would owe roughly $2,840, a $600,000 one about $4,260. Against those earnings, the tax load stays contained, though home prices themselves determine whether buying pencils out. Sales tax adds 8.50% at the register, a separate cost from ownership. Higher earners absorb the property levy more easily than those living on the lower per-person figure.
