ZIP Code 51571

Emerson's 51571 ZIP code sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $95,250 and per-capita income of $41,199. Homes here carry a median value of $221,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.47% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a combined sales tax of 7.00%, and the overall tax picture is steady rather than steep. Incomes run above what many rural ZIP codes report, yet the housing values and tax rates keep this area grounded—comfortably middle-class, with costs that track closely to what households here earn.
