ZIP Code 59874

In ZIP code 59874, which takes in Dixon, households earn a median of $64,319 a year, while per-capita income comes to $28,532. Home values run high against those earnings: the median property is worth $540,100, so buying here ties up a large share of household income. The county's 0.53% effective property tax rate softens that somewhat, working out to roughly $2,860 a year on a home at the median value. With no combined sales tax charged, everyday purchases stretch a bit further, though the gap between local wages and housing prices still shapes how far a paycheck goes.
