ZIP Code 35206

In ZIP code 35206, near Birmingham, households earn a median of $42,549, while per-capita income sits at $25,470. A median home value of $153,500 paired with a 0.59% county property tax rate means annual property taxes run well under $1,000, a genuinely light load on the housing budget. The 10.00% combined sales tax takes a bigger bite out of everyday spending, though, so groceries, gas, and other purchases chip away at take-home pay faster than the property tax bill does. With earnings at this level, sales tax likely shapes the monthly budget more than homeownership costs do.
