ZIP Code 12996

Households in ZIP code 12996, near Minerva, report a median income of $69,766, while per-capita income reaches $46,814. A median home value of $237,900 carries a county-level effective property tax rate of 1.47%, and purchases face an 8.00% combined sales tax. Together, these figures sketch the financial terrain: earnings that sit above many rural areas, a housing market priced in the mid-$200,000s, and two separate tax streams — one tied to owning property, the other to everyday spending. Which of these weighs most depends on whether a household rents or owns and how much of its income goes toward taxable goods.
