ZIP Code 61955

In ZIP code 61955, which takes in Chrisman, the median household income of $49,167 sits below the national midpoint, placing the area in working-class territory. Per-capita income of $25,537 reinforces that picture. Housing costs stay low, with a median home value of $75,000, yet the county-level property tax rate of 1.45% still extracts a meaningful share from owners of that property. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load lands with more weight here than the income levels alone would imply.
