ZIP Code 35244

In ZIP code 35244, near Birmingham, households earn a median of $113,450, with per-capita income at $58,341. Homes here carry a median value of $412,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.44% works out to a comparatively contained annual bill on that value. Sales taxes, though, combine to 9.50%, so everyday purchases cost more than in many parts of the country. Together these figures sketch a picture of solid earning power paired with a housing market that demands a significant income, while the tax mix leans more on spending than on owning property.
