Households in ZIP code 98826, near Wenatchee, bring in a median of $87,646 a year, with per-capita income at $61,326. A median home value of $720,000 is the standout figure here, and the county's 0.71% effective property tax rate translates into roughly $5,112 annually on a home at that price — a real line item against that income.
