Cairo, IL — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Homes in ZIP code 62969, near Cairo, carry a median value of just $62,100, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.81% works out to roughly $1,124 a year on a house at that price. With per-capita income at $41,281, that annual tax bill amounts to about 2.7% of earnings, a share that stays contained because valuations are so low. Sales tax in the area stands at 6.25%. Buyers here face little of the price pressure found in costlier markets, though lower incomes mean the tax still claims a real slice of each household's yearly resources.
