ZIP Code 98843

ZIP code 98843, near East Wenatchee, sits in affluent territory by income and especially by housing. A median household income of $69,425 and per-capita income of $49,011 point to solid middle- to upper-middle earnings, but the median home value of $750,900 is the standout figure, far outpacing what those incomes would typically support elsewhere. Property taxes run at a 0.77% county-level effective rate, which keeps annual bills high in dollar terms given that home value. Add a combined sales tax rate of 7.90%, and the overall tax load leans heavily on housing wealth rather than consumption.
