ZIP Code 51250

In ZIP code 51250, which takes in Alton, households earn a median of $94,119 a year, while per-capita income sits at $37,713. That spread hints at a mix of larger and smaller earners across the area. A median home value of $294,000, taxed at the county's 1.12 percent effective rate, works out to roughly $3,300 in annual property taxes—a real line item, though not an overwhelming one against those earnings. Day-to-day purchases carry a 7.00 percent combined sales tax, so spending adds up gradually. On the whole, income here comfortably outpaces both the property tax load and the sales tax bite.
