ZIP Code 61107

ZIP code 61107 covers part of Rockford, where households earn a median of $78,574 and per-capita income reaches $42,527 — solidly middle-income territory. Homes here are valued at a median of $175,400, and the county's 2.39% effective property tax rate means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add an 8.75% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load runs higher than what many parts of the country see. Even so, incomes in this ZIP are strong enough that most households absorb those costs while still covering everyday expenses.
