ZIP Code 25823

With a per-capita income of $29,912, ZIP code 25823 sits in working-class territory, well below what affluent suburbs command. Homes near Arnett carry a median value of $113,500, and the county's 0.50% effective property tax rate means annual bills stay quite contained on such a price. Shoppers pay 6.00% in combined sales tax. Taken together, this is a place where earnings are limited but the cost of carrying a home is not steep, so housing expenses don't overwhelm paychecks the way they might in pricier markets with higher rates.
