ZIP Code 00638

With a median household income of $22,610 in ZIP code 00638, families here bring in roughly $10,716 per person, so everyday spending decisions carry real weight. A median home value of $96,400 keeps property taxes low at a 0.21% county rate, amounting to only a couple hundred dollars annually. That helps offset the 11.50% combined sales tax, which takes a noticeable bite out of each purchase. Stretching a limited income across essentials means housing costs stay controllable, but the steep sales tax makes routine buying harder to absorb.
