ZIP Code 23401

In ZIP code 23401, near Accomac, the county-level property tax rate of 0.48% keeps annual tax bills low in dollar terms, though that advantage is tempered by what households bring in. With median household income at $36,705 and per-capita income of $17,934, buyers here tend to have limited room in their budgets, so even a below-average rate can matter. A 5.30% combined sales tax adds to everyday costs. Housing costs and wages move together in this ZIP, and the tax rate alone doesn't guarantee that owning a home fits comfortably within what residents earn.
