ZIP Code 81201

In ZIP code 81201, which takes in Salida, homes carry a median value of $674,000 while households earn a median of $80,248. That gap shapes daily life here: a 0.29% county property tax rate works out to roughly $1,955 a year on such a home, a figure that stays contained largely because Colorado assesses residential property at a fraction of market value. Per-capita income reaches $51,183, and the combined sales tax rate sits at 2.90%. Buyers weighing a move should note that the tax bill is only one piece — the purchase price itself demands far more income than the median household brings in.
