ZIP Code 24898

In ZIP code 24898, which takes in Bud, the average person brings home $27,464 a year. That income stretches differently than in higher-cost parts of the country, partly because the county property tax rate sits at 0.45% — a low figure that keeps annual housing costs down for owners. Sales taxes, though, add up to 6.00% on purchases, so everyday spending carries a bit more weight. Between the two, a household here may find property ownership easier to sustain while watching what it buys day to day.
