ZIP Code 27379

With a median household income of $38,472 and per-capita income of $23,857, ZIP code 27379, which takes in Blanch, sits firmly in working-class territory. Homes here have a median value of $169,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.69% means annual taxes stay under about $1,200 for that median-priced house. Shoppers pay a combined 6.75% sales tax on purchases. Incomes trail state and national medians by a wide margin, so the property tax bite is proportionally heavier on household budgets even though the rate itself looks tame on paper.
