ZIP Code 51503

With a median household income of $79,010 and per-capita income of $40,763, ZIP code 51503 sits in middle-income territory rather than among affluent areas. Homes here carry a median value of $262,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.57% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add the 7.00% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. Emerson, the principal town tied to this ZIP, blends steady earning power with tax costs that take a real bite, though incomes generally keep pace with what the area asks of its residents.
