ZIP Code 29168

In ZIP code 29168, near Sumter, households report a median income of $43,911, while per-capita income sits at $23,078. Home values here are quite low, with a median of $34,900, so property taxes at the county's 0.53% rate would run roughly $185 a year. That leaves the 8.00% combined sales tax as the more noticeable cost in daily life, applying to most purchases. Housing costs stay contained because values are so depressed, but incomes are also limited, meaning sales tax takes a meaningful share of spending on goods and services.
