ZIP Code 61265

In ZIP code 61265, which covers Rock Island, homes carry a median value of $147,000 while the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 2.28%. That combination produces an annual tax bill of roughly $3,350 for a median-priced home — a meaningful sum against a median household income of $66,933, though per-capita income of $36,247 suggests many households earn less. Buyers weighing a purchase here should factor the tax into monthly costs alongside a 7.25% combined sales tax rate. Even so, the gap between home values and local earnings keeps entry into the housing market within reach for many working households.
