ZIP Code 27510

In ZIP code 27510, which covers part of Chapel Hill, households earn a median of $61,837, while per-capita income reaches $46,098. Home values run high here, with a median of $449,700, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.91% translates into a meaningful annual bill for owners. Combined with a 7.50% sales tax, everyday purchases also carry a noticeable cost. That mix of elevated housing prices and steady sales taxes means a household's earnings stretch differently than in lower-cost areas, with property taxes tied directly to home value rather than income.
