ZIP Code 34947

ZIP code 34947, covering part of Fort Pierce, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. A median household income of $51,811 and per-capita income of $23,423 fall below many Florida communities, while the median home value of $279,000 runs higher than incomes alone might predict. Property taxes are levied at roughly 0.93% countywide, a fairly gentle rate on that home value. Add a 7.00% combined sales tax, and the overall tax picture leans on consumption rather than property. Households here balance everyday spending against a housing market that has outpaced local wages.
