ZIP Code 28553

Homes around Atlantic in ZIP 28553 carry a median value of $225,000, and the county's 0.43% effective property tax rate translates to roughly $968 a year on a property at that price. With median household income at $88,984 and per-capita income of $51,816, that tax bill absorbs only a sliver of annual earnings, so ownership costs stay within reach for many buyers here. Sales tax across the area totals 6.75%, adding a bit to everyday purchases, though it does not change the overall picture: local incomes comfortably outpace what the housing stock and its tax load demand.
