ZIP Code 61111

ZIP code 61111, serving part of the Rockford area, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $61,393 and per-capita income of $36,240. Homes here carry a median value of $158,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 2.39% means owners pay a noticeable share of that value each year.

Together these figures point to a working- to middle-class community where housing costs stay within reach but taxes take a real bite out of household budgets.
