ZIP Code 35023

ZIP code 35023, near Birmingham, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $69,863 and per-capita income of $28,830. Homes here carry a median value of $161,800, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.59% keeps annual property taxes comparatively restrained. Sales tax is where the load shows up more sharply: the combined rate reaches 10.00%, among the higher totals shoppers encounter. That mix — moderate earnings, a home value below many metro-area figures, a gentle property tax, and a steep sales tax — shapes a working- to middle-class profile where everyday purchases carry more of the tax weight than property ownership does.
