ZIP Code 00979

ZIP code 00979 sits in working-class territory, with a median household income of $40,049 and per-capita income of $36,566. Homes here carry a median value of $189,900, and county property taxes run at an effective 0.47% — a notably gentle rate on that valuation. The sharper edge comes at checkout: an 11.50% combined sales tax applies to everyday purchases, shifting a meaningful share of the local tax load onto consumption rather than property ownership. Households earning around $40,000 absorb that rate on most goods and services, so the overall picture blends restrained property taxation with a heavier, more constant sales-tax cost.
