ZIP Code 49015

ZIP code 49015, in the Battle Creek area, sits in middle-income territory: a median household income of $68,821 and per-capita income of $37,111 place it above many Michigan communities but short of affluent. Homes carry a median value of $184,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.46% means owners pay roughly $2,690 annually on that median home. Sales tax runs 6.00%, Michigan's standard rate, so purchases add a steady cost. Together these figures describe a working- and middle-class community where housing stays within reach and the tax load is steady rather than steep.
