Benton, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Benton-area ZIP 62859 sits in middle-income territory: a median household income of $54,011 and per-capita income of $43,037, paired with a median home value of $93,900. That housing figure is low against the incomes earned here, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.33% applies to a smaller base as a result. Sales tax in this ZIP totals 7.25%, a rate shoppers here absorb on everyday purchases. Together these figures describe a working- and middle-class community where home prices stay within reach of local earnings, though the property and sales tax rates still shape the cost of living.
