ZIP Code 36617

In ZIP code 36617, on Mobile's north side, homes carry a median value of $75,400, and the county's 0.47% effective property tax rate works out to a comparatively light annual bill on such a valuation. Median household income sits at $40,900, with per-capita income of $24,017, so housing costs take up a smaller share of earnings than in many places. A combined sales tax rate of 10.00% does add to everyday expenses, though. Ownership here hinges less on price than on income stability, since low values and low taxes together shape what buyers can carry.
