Mobile, AL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 36603, in the Mobile area, sits among Alabama's lower-income communities. Median household income of $26,879 and per-capita income of $19,237 fall well below state and national figures, while a median home value of $109,100 reflects an area where property remains inexpensive. The county-level effective property tax rate is 0.47%, so property taxes take a comparatively small share of ownership costs. Sales taxes are another matter: the combined rate reaches 10.00%, a heavy charge on everyday purchases that weighs hardest on households with limited earnings. Together these figures describe a working-class ZIP where low housing costs coexist with high consumption taxes.
