ZIP Code 12439

ZIP code 12439, near Athens, sits in middle-income territory: a median household income of $102,989 and per-capita income of $52,761 put it above many rural upstate areas. Home values, though, run lower than the income might imply, with a median of $158,300. County property taxes take 1.49% of that value annually, and the combined sales tax rate reaches 8.00%. So while earnings here are solid, the tax structure leans on purchases and property alike, shaping what households keep after both income and spending are accounted for.
