ZIP Code 24747

ZIP code 24747, which takes in Welch, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $48,203, and per-capita income reaches $25,906. Homes are valued at a median of $136,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.54% means annual taxes on such a home run well below what many parts of the country charge. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture stays restrained against these earnings. Incomes fall under the national median, so this is a community where paychecks stretch carefully and housing costs remain within reach.
