ZIP Code 36775

With a per-capita income of $35,445, ZIP code 36775 sits in working-class to middle-income territory, well below what affluent metros command. Homes near Selma here carry a median value of $111,200, so property taxes stay contained: the county's 0.41% effective rate works out to a few hundred dollars annually on a house at that price. Shoppers pay 5.50% in combined sales tax, a rate that adds up on everyday purchases but trails what many larger cities charge. Overall, this ZIP pairs restrained housing costs with a tax load tilted toward consumption rather than ownership.
