ZIP Code 24243

Households in ZIP code 24243, near Blackwater, bring in a median of $52,308 a year, with per-capita income at $30,355 — earnings that place the area squarely in working- to middle-income territory rather than among affluent communities. Homes here carry a median value of $140,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.60% translates to a comparatively gentle annual bill on that value. Add a combined sales tax of 5.30%, and the overall tax picture stays fairly restrained, with neither property nor purchase taxes taking an outsized bite out of paychecks that sit below the state's midpoint.
