ZIP Code 12987

ZIP code 12987, centered on Minerva, sits in affluent territory: a median household income of $127,083 and per-capita income of $87,497 both run well above statewide norms. Homes here carry a median value of $250,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.47% translates into a meaningful annual bill on that amount. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load is substantial, though the strong income base absorbs it more easily than in lower-earning areas. This is a well-off community where housing costs and taxes both reflect that standing.
