Flomaton, AL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of just $3,292, ZIP code 36503 stands among the lowest-earning areas in the country, an economically distressed pocket centered on Flomaton. Property taxes in the surrounding county run at an effective rate of 0.39%, so owners here pay comparatively little on their homes, though that figure reflects low assessed values as much as a gentle rate. The combined sales tax of 6.00% applies to everyday purchases, adding a steady cost for households already stretching thin incomes. Taken together, the tax structure is undemanding on paper, yet the underlying wages leave little slack for anything beyond the essentials.
