ZIP Code 35973

Housing around Gadsden in ZIP 35973 stays within reach largely because home values sit near $69,400, and the county's 0.38% effective property tax rate translates into a yearly bill of only a few hundred dollars on a home at that price. With median household income at $44,608 and per-capita income of $28,623, that tax load takes up a smaller share of earnings than in many places. Sales tax runs 7.50% on purchases, a cost that applies broadly rather than to property alone.
