ZIP Code 50651

Residents of ZIP code 50651, centered on Atkins, earn a median household income of $88,333, placing the area squarely in middle-income territory rather than among Iowa's wealthiest communities. Per-capita income sits at $44,049, and a median home value of $187,600 reflects steady, mid-range housing costs. Property taxes run at 1.50% of value at the county level, so a home assessed at that median would generate roughly $2,800 in annual tax. Add a 7.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load stays moderate — noticeable, but not out of step with what similar-income households pay elsewhere in the state.
