ZIP Code 28607

Households in ZIP code 28607, around Boone, earn a median of $46,639, with per-capita income at $29,503 — a working- to middle-income range. Home values run high by comparison, with a median of $378,600, yet the county-level property tax rate sits at just 0.39%, so the annual tax bill stays low even on a pricier home. Sales tax comes to 6.75%. Incomes here trail the home prices considerably, which shapes the area's character: a place where owning property carries little tax drag, but where buying in still demands far more than a year's median pay.
