ZIP Code 61455

ZIP code 61455, centered on Adair, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. Median household income of $48,679 and per-capita income of $31,549 fall below many statewide averages, while a median home value of $120,100 keeps entry into homeownership within reach for earners here. That lower valuation doesn't translate into a lighter tax bill, though: the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.13% is steep enough that a home at the median value still generates a noticeable annual charge. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall tax load takes a steady bite out of paychecks that are already stretched.
