ZIP Code 31599

With a per-capita income of just $7,322, ZIP code 31599 sits firmly in working-class territory — a striking contrast to state and national averages. This area, anchored by Jesup, carries a county-level effective property tax rate of 0.78%, which is fairly gentle on homeowners even though incomes here are thin. The combined sales tax rate of 8.00% adds a steady cost to everyday purchases, weighing more heavily on households with limited earnings. Together, these figures paint a picture of a community where wages lag well behind the tax obligations tied to daily spending and property ownership alike.
