ZIP Code 37359

With a median household income of $77,941 and per-capita income of $44,364, ZIP code 37359, near Kelso, sits in middle-income territory rather than among the area's wealthier enclaves. Home values run high by comparison, with the median property pegged at $274,600. Yet the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.45% keeps annual bills unusually restrained given that price point. Sales tax tells a different story: at 9.50% combined, everyday purchases carry a heavier charge, shifting a meaningful share of the local tax load onto consumption rather than real estate.
