ZIP Code 24161

In ZIP code 24161, near Danville, the county-level property tax rate of 0.59% shapes what buying a home actually costs. Households here earn a median of $46,579, while per-capita income sits at $16,846, so a home purchase weighs heavily against yearly earnings. A sales tax of 5.30% adds to everyday expenses on top of that. Because the rate itself stays under six-tenths of a percent, the tax bill on a given home value grows slowly, but lower incomes mean even that slower growth takes a real bite out of what families can set aside.
