ZIP Code 36610

In ZIP code 36610, on the edge of Mobile, households bring in a median of $30,529 a year, or about $18,131 per person. That income has to stretch across a 10.00% combined sales tax, among the higher rates shoppers will encounter, which trims what each dollar buys on everyday purchases. Housing costs less here, though: the median home is valued at $57,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.47% works out to a few hundred dollars annually on a home at that price. Low property taxes offset some of the sales tax pressure, but with earnings at this level, daily expenses still consume most of the budget.
