ZIP Code 35214

In ZIP code 35214, near Birmingham, households bring in a median of $56,383 a year, or about $31,561 per person. With homes valued around $164,500 and the county property tax rate at 0.59%, annual property taxes run near $970 — a fairly gentle claim on that income. The 10.00% combined sales tax, however, takes a bite out of everyday spending, so groceries, gas, and other purchases cost more here than in many places. Balancing those two sides — light property taxes but steeper sales taxes — shapes how far each paycheck stretches for local households.
