ZIP Code 27047

Households in ZIP code 27047, centered on Ararat, earn a median of $71,146, placing the area squarely in middle-income territory rather than among Virginia's wealthier enclaves. Per-capita income sits at $31,674, a figure that reflects a workforce spread across a range of occupations rather than concentrated high earners. Homes here carry a median value of $214,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.60% translates into a comparatively restrained annual bill on that amount. Add a combined sales tax of 7.00%, and the overall tax picture stays moderate — noticeable on everyday purchases, but not an outsized drag on household finances.
