ZIP Code 35903

In Gadsden's 35903 ZIP code, median household income of $53,122 and per-capita income of $30,903 place the area squarely in working- to middle-class territory. Homes carry a median value of $172,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.39% keeps annual tax bills low by national standards. That advantage gets partly offset at the register, where the combined sales tax rate reaches 10.00%, among the higher rates shoppers will encounter. The result is a place where housing costs stay contained but everyday purchases carry a heavier share of the tax load.
