ZIP Code 36540

Households in ZIP code 36540, near Dickinson, report a median income of $29,609, while per-capita income reaches $28,891. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.33%, and the combined sales tax stands at 5.00%. Those two rates work together to shape what a household keeps: property taxes take a small share of home value each year, and the sales tax adds a nickel on each dollar of taxable purchases. With income levels here, everyday spending and housing costs both draw on the same limited pool of earnings, so the interplay between wages and these two taxes matters more than either rate alone.
