ZIP Code 56111

Households in ZIP code 56111, which centers on Alpha, report a median income of $98,125, while per-capita income reaches $78,267 — placing the area in upper-middle-income territory rather than among the working class. Home values, however, sit at $104,800, well below what those earnings might imply elsewhere, and the county's 0.93% effective property tax rate keeps annual bills tied to that lower assessment. A combined sales tax of 7.88% applies to purchases. The result is a community where strong earnings coexist with restrained housing costs and a tax load that stays proportionate to both.
