ZIP Code 36569

In ZIP code 36569, near Chatom, homes carry a median value of $163,500 while households bring in $55,774 a year. The county's 0.23% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $376 annually on a home at that median value—a figure that sits lightly against yearly earnings. That gap between what a house costs and what residents make shapes daily life here: per-capita income reaches $26,863, and a 5.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases. Ownership stays within reach largely because taxes take so little, even though local wages trail the state in many cases.
