  • California’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and El Dorado County adds 0.25% to this amount and a special sales tax of 1% for a combined total rate of 7.25%. While this may seem high, residents throughout El Dorado County have a sales tax rate that’s 88.3% lower than other cities and counties in California. Cameron Park residents, especially seniors, also benefit from tax exemption on groceries and prescription drugs.
  • Much like most of California, the cost of living in Cameron Park is 48% higher than the national average, but it’s about 2% lower than the state median. Health care costs in Cameron Park are lower than the national average by more than 6%, but all other categories are higher.
  • Cameron Park has a slightly lower violent crime rate compared to the national average. The city was rated at 20.5 while the nationwide average is 22.7, which is also lower than California’s statewide average of 25.2. However, property crime is higher in Cameron Park at 39 compared to the national average of 35.4 and the state median of 37.1.
