ZIP Code 28759

ZIP code 28759, near Asheville, sits comfortably in affluent territory. A median household income of $107,609 and per-capita income of $47,088 both run well above national norms, while a median home value of $444,300 signals a pricey housing market. The county-level effective property tax rate of 0.52% keeps annual tax bills comparatively restrained despite those high values. Add a combined sales tax rate of 6.75%, and the overall tax picture stays fairly gentle for a community at this income level, with property taxes taking a smaller bite than the home prices alone might imply.
