ZIP Code 81422

In ZIP code 81422, near Montrose, households earn a median of $27,917, while per-capita income reaches $24,823 — a gap hinting that many homes rely on more than one earner or on retirement income. With a median home value of $158,400 and a county property tax rate of 0.36%, annual property taxes run roughly $570. Sales tax adds 2.90% at checkout. On earnings near $28,000, housing costs and everyday purchases consume a larger share of the budget, so even a low property tax rate matters less than the day-to-day cost of goods and services.
