ZIP Code 81043

Households in ZIP code 81043, near Hartman, earn a median of $12,955, with per-capita income at $10,133 — figures that place the area among the lowest-income pockets in the country. Property taxes run at a county-level rate of 0.30%, while the combined sales tax rate sits at 2.90%. Those rates are low in absolute terms, yet the incomes here are so limited that even a small tax bill can weigh heavily on a household budget. This is a distinctly working-class, economically strained community where tax policy offers little cushion against very constrained earnings.
