ZIP Code 61855

With a per-capita income of $45,579, ZIP code 61855 sits in middle-income territory, anchored by the town of Bement. Homes here carry a median value of $220,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.81% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Shoppers face a combined sales tax of 7.25% on purchases. Together these figures sketch a place where earnings are steady rather than high, housing costs remain within reach of working households, and the tax load, while not trivial, stays consistent with what similar Illinois communities assess.
