ZIP Code 43227

ZIP code 43227, on Columbus's east side, sits squarely in working-class territory. A median household income of $48,159 and per-capita income of $24,658 fall well below metro norms, while the $152,800 median home value keeps entry costs within reach for buyers of limited means. Property taxes run at 1.47% of value at the county level, so an owner of a home priced at that median owes roughly $2,250 a year. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall load leans on a population with less slack in its budget.
