ZIP Code 37339

Altamont's 37339 ZIP code sits in working-class to middle-income territory, with a median household income of $49,063 and per-capita income of $27,734. Homes here carry a median value of $148,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.38% keeps annual property taxes on such a home at a low dollar figure. Sales taxes are another matter: the combined rate of 9.25% adds noticeably to everyday purchases. Households in this area thus face a lighter property tax obligation but a heavier consumption tax, a mix that shapes day-to-day costs more than it does long-term ownership expenses.
