ZIP Code 60115

Households in ZIP code 60115, centered on Clare, earn a median of $47,043, with per-capita income at $27,770 — figures that place the area in working-class to lower-middle-income territory. Homes carry a median value of $208,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 2.45% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Sales tax sits at 6.25%, adding cost to everyday purchases. Together these rates weigh on budgets already stretched by below-average earnings, so the tax load here matters more than it would in wealthier parts of the state.
