ZIP Code 12821

In ZIP code 12821, near Argyle, homes carry a median value of $212,500, and the county's 2.01% effective property tax rate translates into an annual bill of roughly $4,271. Against per-capita income of just $3,853, that tax alone dwarfs what a single resident earns in a year, an extreme mismatch between earnings and housing costs. Sales tax adds 7.00% to purchases, further tightening day-to-day finances. Ownership here demands either substantial outside resources or income far above the area's average, since local earnings alone cannot cover the property tax load attached to a median-priced home.
