ZIP Code 61567

Forest City’s 61567 ZIP code sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $68,750 and per-capita income of $32,874. Home values average $87,700, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.09% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add a combined sales tax rate of 7.25%, and everyday purchases carry a noticeable added cost. Taken together, the area leans working- to middle-class: earnings are steady but not high, homes stay within reach, and the tax structure asks a real, ongoing contribution from those who live and shop here.
