ZIP Code 61818

In ZIP code 61818, near Decatur, households earn a median of $84,375, while per-capita income sits at $35,149 — a gap that hints at larger or multi-earner homes alongside many smaller ones. Buying here means grappling with a median home value of $116,100 and a county property tax rate of 1.81%, which together shape the yearly housing bill. Day-to-day purchases carry a combined 7.75% sales tax, so spending steadily chips away at take-home pay. Even so, the earnings base is strong enough that housing costs and sales taxes don't overwhelm the average budget.
