ZIP Code 27819

ZIP code 27819, in the Rocky Mount area, sits firmly in working-class territory. A median household income of $38,776 and per-capita income of just $11,353 point to earnings well below state and national norms. Homes here carry a median value of $86,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.04% translates into a fairly small annual bill given that valuation. Shoppers pay a combined 7.00% sales tax on purchases. Taken together, the picture is one of limited incomes paired with low housing costs and a tax load that leans more on consumption than on property ownership.
