ZIP Code 26542

Households in ZIP code 26542, near Morgantown, bring in a median of $54,375 a year, with per-capita income at $26,563. A median home value of $152,000 and a county property tax rate of 0.49% translate into roughly $745 in annual property taxes — a figure most owners can absorb without straining the monthly budget. Day-to-day purchases carry a 7.00% combined sales tax, so spending steadily chips away at take-home pay. With earnings at this level, housing costs stay contained, but the sales tax shapes how far each dollar stretches across groceries, fuel, and other routine expenses.
