ZIP Code 60503

ZIP code 60503, centered on Plainfield, ranks as an affluent community by income measures. A median household income of $136,726 and per-capita income of $48,227 sit well above national averages, while a median home value of $324,500 reflects a solidly established homeowner base. The trade-off comes in taxes: the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.24% is steep, translating into a substantial annual bill on that median home. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax rate, and residents here carry a fairly heavy overall tax load despite their strong earning power.
