ZIP Code 35211

ZIP code 35211, in Birmingham, sits squarely in working-class territory, with a median household income of $34,884 and per-capita income of $24,187. Homes here carry a median value of $96,200, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.59% keeps annual property taxes low in dollar terms. A combined sales tax rate of 10.00%, however, takes a noticeable bite out of everyday spending, since it applies to groceries, clothing, and other routine purchases. The result is a place where housing costs stay within reach but consumption taxes weigh more heavily on budgets already stretched thin.
