ZIP Code 37370

Households in ZIP code 37370, near Athens, bring in a median of $61,125 a year, which works out to $31,448 per person. With homes valued at a median of $222,100 and the county's property tax rate at 0.35%, annual property taxes run low enough to free up cash for other expenses. That matters because the combined sales tax rate of 9.75% adds to the cost of everyday purchases, so spending choices carry more weight here. The overall picture is one of steady earnings paired with a housing market that doesn't demand an outsized share of income.
