ZIP Code 62243

ZIP code 62243, near East Saint Louis, sits in solidly middle-income territory, with a median household income of $103,342 and per-capita income of $46,679. Homes here carry a median value of $279,500, and the county-level effective 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. Household earnings comfortably exceed the state midpoint, yet the property and sales taxes take a noticeable bite out of that prosperity.
