ZIP Code 61115

ZIP code 61115 sits in the Rockford area with a median household income of $75,363 and per-capita income of $36,535, placing it in middle-income territory rather than among the area's wealthier pockets. Homes here carry a median value of $172,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 2.39% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add a combined sales tax of 7.75% on purchases, and the overall tax load leans on earned income and spending alike. This is a working- to middle-income community where wages are steady but not high, and taxes take a noticeable bite.
