ZIP Code 28342

In ZIP code 28342, near Fayetteville, households bring in a median of $138,125 a year, though per-capita income sits at $20,990 — a gap that hints at larger households pooling earners. A median home valued at $192,500 carries an effective county property tax rate of 0.93%, so annual taxes land well under what the income level could absorb. Add the 7.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall tax picture stays predictable against six-figure earnings. That spread between household and per-person income shapes spending power here more than either figure alone.
