Tuscaloosa, AL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of just $4,070, ZIP code 35487 in Tuscaloosa sits far below what most American households earn, a figure that reflects the student-heavy population tied to the university here rather than a traditional workforce. Property taxes run at a county-level effective rate of 0.32%, and the combined sales tax reaches 7.00%. That mix means owners face a very slim annual property tax bill, while everyday purchases carry the heavier share of the local tax load.
