ZIP Code 35223

ZIP code 35223, in the Birmingham area, ranks among Alabama's more affluent communities, with a median household income of $168,278 and per-capita income of $99,041. Homes here carry a median value of $775,100, yet the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.59% keeps annual property taxes comparatively contained despite those high values. Sales tax is a different matter: the combined rate reaches 10.00%, so everyday purchases cost more than in many parts of the state. Households here generally absorb that higher consumption tax alongside substantial property values without much strain, given income levels well above state and national medians.
