ZIP Code 36832

In ZIP code 36832, near Auburn, households earn a median of $42,717, while per-capita income sits at $28,403. A median home value of $263,900 carries a county property tax rate of 0.48%, a fairly small annual charge on that value. Sales tax, though, reaches 9.00% on purchases, which adds up quickly against these income levels. Together, the two taxes pull at a household budget from different directions: property taxes stay contained, but everyday spending costs more. With incomes below the home value, buyers here may feel that gap in both their mortgage and their receipts.
