ZIP Code 31806

In ZIP code 31806, which covers Ideal and the surrounding area, households bring in a median of $58,875 a year, or about $31,002 per person. Homes here carry a median value of $156,000, and the county's 0.90% property tax rate applies to that figure, so annual property taxes tend to stay well below what many metro-area owners pay. Sales taxes, though, run 9.00% on purchases, a rate shoppers will notice on everyday goods. Weighing the two together, housing costs take a smaller bite of earnings than consumption does, which shapes how far a paycheck stretches across the year.
