ZIP Code 49043

With a median household income of $36,280 and per-capita income of $18,154, ZIP code 49043 sits in working-class territory, well below what many Michigan communities report. Homes here carry a median value of $153,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.23% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases chip away at already tight earnings. For households in and around Bangor, the overall tax load lands with real weight against these income levels.
