ZIP Code 37171

ZIP code 37171, which centers on Burns, sits in affluent territory by income standards: a median household income of $118,045, paired with per-capita income of $34,676. That gap hints at households with multiple earners or larger families. Property taxes run at an effective 0.61% county rate, a lighter load than many parts of Tennessee, though the 9.50% combined sales tax takes a steady cut of everyday spending. The result is a high-earning area where the tax structure leans more on consumption than on property ownership.
