ZIP Code 36535

Households in ZIP code 36535, near Gulf Shores, earn a median of $66,714, placing the area in middle-income territory rather than among the affluent. Per-capita income of $38,076 and a median home value of $282,700 point to a community that is comfortable but not wealthy. Property taxes are notably gentle: the county-level effective rate of 0.30% means a home at that median value generates roughly $848 in annual tax. The 10.00% combined sales tax is where the heavier cost shows up, since everyday purchases carry a higher rate than many parts of the country.
