ZIP Code 62026

In ZIP code 62026, near Edwardsville, per-capita income stands at just $1,342, an unusually low figure that shapes nearly every household decision here. With earnings at that level, everyday costs carry real weight, and the 6.85% combined sales tax adds to each purchase made locally. Property owners also face a 1.92% county effective rate, which takes a meaningful share of whatever home value they hold. Together these rates mean little slack in a monthly plan, so spending choices and any tax obligations weigh heavily against the income available.
