ZIP Code 62223

With a median household income of $73,700, ZIP code 62223 sits in middle-income territory, though per-capita income of $39,798 hints at a fairly broad spread of earnings across the East Saint Louis area. Homes here carry a median value of $159,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 2.03% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a combined sales tax of 7.35%, and the overall tax picture leans heavier than many parts of Illinois. Working households here balance moderate earnings against real property and consumption tax costs.
