ZIP Code 49074

In ZIP code 49074, which covers part of Kalamazoo, households bring in a median of $33,750 a year, while per-capita income sits at $15,743. That leaves limited slack once everyday costs are covered. Property taxes in the county run at an effective rate of 1.45%, so a home's assessed value translates into a noticeable annual bill at these earnings levels. Sales tax adds 6.00% to most purchases, a cost that follows everyday spending rather than arriving once a year. Together these figures shape how tightly paychecks stretch here, with housing and consumption taxes both drawing on the same constrained income.
