ZIP Code 44311

In Akron's 44311 ZIP code, households earn a median of $24,369, with per-capita income at $15,733 — figures that place this area among the city's lower-income communities. Home values average $68,800, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.53% applies to that assessed value. Sales tax in the area totals 6.75%, a cost that weighs more heavily on tighter budgets since it applies to everyday purchases. Together, the low home values keep property tax bills small in dollar terms, but the combination of limited incomes and a sales tax on goods means a larger share of earnings goes toward consumption taxes than in wealthier ZIP codes.
