ZIP Code 24945

In ZIP code 24945, near Ballard, households bring in a median of $51,848, while per-capita income sits at $19,556. The county's 0.46% effective property tax rate means a home's assessed value drives the annual bill more than the rate itself, so buyers weighing a purchase here should expect taxes to scale with price rather than stay flat. Combined with a 6.00% sales tax, everyday purchases chip away at take-home pay. That mix shapes what residents can carry: a higher-priced home raises the tax owed, and with incomes at this level, the squeeze shows up in monthly costs.
