ZIP Code 62843

With a median household income of $16,020, ZIP code 62843 sits well below the middle of the economic scale, and the per-capita figure of $19,860 points to a community around Mount Erie where earnings are thinly spread. Households here carry a county-level property tax rate of 1.49%, a real cost against such limited earnings. The combined sales tax of 7.00% adds further pressure on everyday purchases. This is a working-class area by any measure, where both income and tax rates shape daily life in ways that leave little slack.
