ZIP Code 98942

In ZIP code 98942, near Yakima, households earn a median of $84,646 a year, with per-capita income at $41,015. That earnings base supports a median home value of $382,300, and the county's 0.79% effective property tax rate works out to a comparatively contained annual bill on such a home. Day-to-day purchases carry an 8.50% combined sales tax, which adds up on groceries, fuel, and other routine spending. Together, these figures sketch a local economy where incomes stretch further against housing costs than in many pricier markets, though the sales tax takes a steady bite out of everyday budgets.
