ZIP Code 35022

Households in ZIP code 35022, near Birmingham, earn a median of $81,846 a year, with per-capita income at $41,827. A median home value of $258,900 taxed at the county's 0.59 percent effective rate works out to roughly $1,527 annually in property taxes. That leaves most of the earnings for everything else, though a 10.00 percent combined sales tax adds to the cost of everyday purchases. The gap between the two income measures hints at a range of household types, from single earners to larger families, each balancing housing costs against what they spend on goods and services.
