ZIP Code 28783

Balsam's 28783 ZIP code sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $51,350 and per-capita income of $28,892. Home values run higher than that income might imply, at a median of $290,900, but the county-level property tax rate of 0.34% keeps annual bills unusually restrained. Add a 7.00% combined sales tax, and the overall tax picture leans on consumption rather than ownership. Households here earn less than the state might average, yet the gap between income and housing costs is softened by property taxes that stay well below what many homeowners elsewhere pay.
