ZIP Code 24327

With a per-capita income of just $4,153, ZIP code 24327 ranks among the lowest-earning areas in the country, placing it firmly in working-class — even impoverished — territory. That low earning power stands out against the 0.50% county property tax rate, which is gentle on paper but still weighs heavily on households bringing in so little. Sales tax in the Abingdon area comes to 5.30%, adding a bit more to everyday purchases. Together these figures describe a community where incomes are thin and even low tax rates can consume a meaningful share of what people earn.
