ZIP Code 29207

With a per-capita income of $27,888, ZIP code 29207 sits below the middle of the national earnings scale, placing the Columbia area it covers in working-class territory. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.67%, which keeps annual bills on the lower side for homeowners here. Shoppers, though, pay a combined sales tax of 8.00%, so everyday purchases carry a heavier share of the local tax load than property ownership does. Together these figures sketch a place where wages are stretched and consumption taxes take a noticeable bite out of each paycheck.
