ZIP Code 61859

ZIP code 61859, near Champaign, sits in solidly middle-income territory, with a median household income of $102,708 and per-capita income of $45,863. Homes here carry a median value of $182,500, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.06% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a combined sales tax of 7.50%, and the overall tax load leans heavier than many parts of Illinois. Household earnings are strong enough to absorb it, though the property tax rate stands out as the sharper edge of living here.
