ZIP Code 29403

ZIP code 29403, in Charleston, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $66,944 and per-capita income of $49,758. Home values run far higher: the median is $674,000. That gap means property taxes matter here, though the county's 0.39% effective rate keeps the annual bill lower than many coastal markets. Sales tax adds 9.00% to purchases. Together these figures describe an area where earnings look ordinary but real estate does not, so owners carry a heavier asset-based tax position than their paychecks alone would indicate.
