ZIP Code 86535

With a median household income of $31,250 and per-capita income of $13,702, ZIP code 86535 sits firmly in working-class territory. Home values center near $50,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.90% applies to that base. Shoppers in and around Alpine pay a combined 6.10% sales tax. Together these figures describe a place where earnings stay below statewide norms and housing costs stay correspondingly contained, so property taxes drawn from a $50,300 assessment translate into a comparatively contained annual bill. The sales tax rate, meanwhile, adds a steady cost to everyday purchases, a consideration that carries more weight when household budgets are already stretched thin.
