ZIP Code 81211

ZIP code 81211, centered on Salida, sits in affluent territory: a median household income of $88,083 and per-capita income of $45,070 pair with a striking median home value of $677,400. That housing figure far outpaces what local earnings alone would normally support, hinting at buyers drawn by more than wages. Property taxes stay restrained, with an effective county rate of 0.29%, so owning an expensive home here does not translate into a heavy annual tax bill. Sales tax combines to 2.90%, among the lower totals you will find. The result is a high-value, comparatively lightly taxed pocket of Colorado.
