Blair, WV — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 25653, near Blair, per-capita income stands at $16,292, and the county-level effective property tax rate is 0.56%. That rate applies to whatever a home is worth, so a $100,000 assessment would carry roughly $560 in annual property taxes — a figure that scales directly with value rather than with earnings. Because incomes here are limited, each additional dollar of home value adds tax cost that a household must absorb alongside a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases. Buyers weighing a move to this area should consider how much house their income supports once both taxes are factored in.
