In ZIP code 37186, which takes in Lafayette, households bring in a median of $59,545 a year, while per-capita income sits at $29,825. A median home value of $221,500 taxed at the county's 0.51 percent rate works out to a lighter annual property tax bill than many homeowners elsewhere face. Day-to-day purchases carry a combined 9.25 percent sales tax, so spending adds up faster than the property tax side of things. That mix shapes how far each paycheck stretches: housing costs stay contained, but groceries and other taxable goods take a bigger bite.
