In ZIP code 36854, which takes in Cusseta, households bring in a median of $55,973 a year, or roughly $30,238 per person. With homes valued at a median of $160,100 and county property taxes running at an effective 0.39%, annual property tax bills tend to stay low enough that housing costs don't crowd out much else. A 5.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases, though groceries and other essentials may be treated differently under state rules. Together these figures sketch a place where earnings stretch further than in many metro areas, since both the tax rate on property and the median home value sit below what larger cities command.
