ZIP Code 56591

ZIP code 56591, in the Detroit Lakes area, sits at the lower end of the income scale: a median household income of $16,793, though per-capita income reaches $24,412. That gap hints at many small or single-person households rather than families with combined earners. Property taxes run at a county-level effective rate of 0.69%, and the combined sales tax rate is 7.38%. With earnings this low, the sales tax takes a noticeable bite out of daily spending, while the property tax rate stays below what higher-income areas often see. This is a working-class pocket of the Detroit Lakes region, where household budgets stretch thin.
