ZIP Code 62231

Albers, in ZIP code 62231, sits squarely in middle-income territory: a median household income of $84,214 and per-capita income of $45,248 place it above many rural Illinois communities without reaching affluent levels. Homes carry a median value of $167,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.83% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Sales tax comes to 6.25%, applied to everyday purchases. Together these figures describe a working-to-middle-income area where housing costs stay within reach but the tax load, particularly on property, still shapes household budgets.
