Council Bluffs, IA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 51575, near Council Bluffs, sits in upper-middle-income territory, with a median household income of $112,115 and per-capita income of $48,095. Homes here carry a median value of $304,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.57% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add the 7.00% combined sales tax, and the overall tax picture leans heavier than many parts of the country. Households earning six figures can absorb these costs, but the combination of above-average property taxes and steady sales tax keeps the total obligation noticeable throughout the year.
