ZIP Code 81335

With a per-capita income of $31,718, ZIP code 81335 sits in working-class to lower-middle-income territory, well below what affluent areas command. The surrounding Cortez area softens the tax picture considerably: the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.29% is quite gentle on homeowners, and a combined sales tax rate of 2.90% keeps everyday purchases cheap by national standards. Together, these figures mean earners here keep more of each paycheck than they would in higher-tax regions, even if household earnings themselves stay on the lean side.
