ZIP Code 26617

In ZIP code 26617, near Bickmore, households bring in a median of $56,250, while per-capita income sits at $19,870. The county's effective property tax rate of 0.46% keeps yearly tax bills contained even as home values rise, since each $100,000 of assessed value generates roughly $460 in annual tax. Combined with a 6.00% sales tax rate, the overall cost of living leans on consumption rather than ownership. That split matters for buyers weighing a mortgage: housing carries less of a tax drag here than in places where rates climb past 1%, though earnings still shape what price range a family can carry comfortably.
