ZIP Code 29042

In ZIP code 29042, which takes in Bamberg, households earn a median of $41,047 a year, or about $20,620 per person. That income spread against a median home value of $88,200 means housing costs stay within reach for many owners, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.83% applies to that lower assessed value. Day-to-day purchases, though, carry an 8.00% combined sales tax, which adds to the cost of groceries, fuel, and other goods. Budgets here stretch further on housing than on spending, so sales tax takes a noticeable share of each paycheck.
