ZIP Code 24866

In ZIP code 24866, near Welch, households earn a median of $38,852 a year, which works out to $14,766 per person. With homes valued at just $24,100, property taxes at the county's 0.67% rate would run roughly $161 annually, a tiny line in the yearly budget. That leaves sales tax, set at 6.00% combined, as the levy most people here encounter day to day, adding a bit to each purchase. Stretching nearly $39,000 across housing, food, and other essentials takes care, and the low home values mean owners here carry little property-tax weight compared with the sales tax they pay on regular spending.
