ZIP Code 87151

With a per-capita income of $10,129, ZIP code 87151 sits well below the norm, placing its residents in working-class or lower-income territory rather than anywhere near affluent. That low earning level shapes how the area's taxes land. The county-level effective property tax rate of 0.90% applies to whatever property value exists here, while the combined sales tax rate of 4.88% adds a bit to everyday purchases in and around Albuquerque. Neither rate is especially punishing on its own, but against such limited incomes, both take a meaningful bite out of already stretched household budgets.
