ZIP Code 43211

ZIP code 43211, on Columbus's north side, sits squarely in working-class territory. A median household income of $42,579 and per-capita income of $20,271 fall well below statewide norms, while a median home value of $112,700 keeps entry into ownership within reach. That lower valuation doesn't translate into lower taxes, though: the county's 1.47% effective property tax rate still claims a meaningful share of each homeowner's budget. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall picture is one of steady but tight finances, where wages stretch only so far against the combined weight of income, property, and consumption taxes.
