ZIP Code 36722

In ZIP code 36722, near Demopolis, households bring in a median of $95,313 a year, while per-capita income sits at $38,562. That earning level pairs with a median home value of just $33,100, so property taxes at the county's 0.32 percent rate amount to very little annually. Day-to-day purchases, though, carry an 8.50 percent combined sales tax, which adds up on groceries, fuel, and other goods. With housing costs so contained, a large share of income can go toward savings, debt payoff, or everyday spending rather than a mortgage.
