ZIP Code 35404

In ZIP code 35404, near Tuscaloosa, households earn a median of $48,932, while per-capita income sits at $28,483. A median home value of $197,500 pairs with a county property tax rate of 0.32%, so annual property taxes on such a home come to roughly $632. Sales taxes, though, run 10.00% combined, which adds up quickly on everyday purchases. That split shapes the cost picture here: owning costs stay contained through low property taxes, but spending carries a heavier load, and a household's income stretches differently depending on how much of it goes toward buying goods versus housing.
