ZIP Code 36467

Around Elba, ZIP code 36467 runs on working-class economics: a median household income of $41,708 and per-capita income of $25,561 sit below state and national norms, while homes typically carry a value near $121,200. Property taxes stay unusually gentle here, with the county-level effective rate at just 0.26%, so an owner of a median-priced house owes only a few hundred dollars annually. Sales tax, at 6.50% combined, adds a steady cost to everyday purchases. Households earning in the low $40,000s therefore keep more of their paycheck than homeowners in higher-tax areas, though day-to-day buying power remains constrained.
