ZIP Code 61239

ZIP code 61239, in the Rock Island area, sits firmly in working-class territory. A median household income of $32,177 and per-capita income of $19,792 fall well below statewide norms, while the median home value of $99,400 keeps entry into ownership within reach. That lower valuation comes paired with a county-level effective property tax rate of 2.28%, so the tax bill stays proportionate even as the rate itself runs high. Shoppers here also pay a combined 7.25% sales tax on purchases. Together these figures describe a community where earnings are limited and taxes claim a steady share of them.
