ZIP Code 62234

Households in ZIP code 62234, around Edwardsville, bring in a median income of $69,607, with per-capita earnings of $39,438. A median home value of $170,000 paired with the county's 1.92% effective property tax rate means annual property taxes land near $3,264 — a real line item, but one that fits within that income. Day-to-day purchases carry a combined sales tax of 6.85%, so spending is taxed at a rate that adds up gradually rather than all at once. Together these figures sketch a budget shaped by steady earnings, a mid-range housing market, and taxes that claim a defined share of each paycheck.
