ZIP Code 45503

ZIP code 45503, part of Springfield, sits squarely in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $59,595 and per-capita income of $33,336. Homes here carry a median value of $168,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.19% means owners pay a fairly standard share of that value each year. Add a combined sales tax of 7.25%, and the overall tax picture looks like what you'd expect in a working- to middle-class Midwestern city — steady costs rather than steep ones, borne by households earning around the national middle.
