ZIP Code 49087

ZIP code 49087, near Kalamazoo, sits comfortably in the upper-middle-income range. A median household income of $106,250 outpaces the national figure, and per-capita income of $42,737 reinforces that strength. Homes carry a median value of $305,900, with the county's 1.45% effective property tax rate translating into a meaningful annual bill at that price point. Sales tax runs 6.00%, a rate shoppers here share with much of Michigan. Together these figures describe an area where earnings are solid and housing costs are substantial, so property taxes take a real bite even though the income base can absorb it.
