ZIP Code 23551

With a per-capita income of $31,091, ZIP code 23551 sits in working-class to lower-middle-income territory, well below what affluent suburbs typically show. That income level shapes how the 1.00% county property tax rate plays out: on a lower-priced home, the annual bill stays smaller in dollar terms even though the rate itself isn't especially high. Add Norfolk's 6.00% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases carry a noticeable cost. Together these figures point to a community where taxes take a meaningful share of earnings, and where household budgets likely stretch to cover both property and consumption levies.
