ZIP Code 49007

ZIP code 49007 covers part of Kalamazoo, where households earn a median of $39,344 and per-capita income sits at $25,317 — figures that place the area among the city's working-class neighborhoods rather than its more affluent pockets. Homes here carry a median value of $111,300, and Kalamazoo County's 1.45% effective property tax rate applies, translating into a real annual cost for owners at that price point. Sales tax in the area runs 6.00%, a rate shoppers encounter on everyday purchases. Together these numbers describe a community where incomes are limited and both property and consumption taxes take a meaningful bite.
