ZIP Code 99702

In ZIP code 99702, near Fairbanks, households bring in a median of $68,640 a year, while per-capita income sits at $28,555. With no combined sales tax, everyday purchases aren't adding anything at the register, which keeps more of each paycheck available for housing, utilities, and savings. Property taxes run at a county-level effective rate of 1.19%, so a home's assessed value shapes that annual bill directly. That mix — steady earnings, no sales tax, and a property levy tied to what a home is worth — means the yearly budget here leans heavily on housing costs rather than day-to-day spending.
