ZIP Code 37302

Households in ZIP code 37302, just outside Chattanooga, earn a median of $128,885 a year, with per-capita income at $62,788. That earning power shapes how taxes land here. A median home valued at $419,800 carries a county property tax rate of 0.61%, so the annual bill stays a contained slice of household earnings. Everyday purchases cost more, though, since the combined sales tax rate reaches 9.25%. The result is a budget tilted toward spending and property rather than income taxes, with high earnings absorbing the sales tax on routine purchases.
