ZIP Code 37682

With a per-capita income of just $2,996, households in ZIP code 37682, near Johnson City, stretch every dollar across essentials. A 9.75% combined sales tax adds real weight to everyday purchases, from groceries to gas, so disposable income disappears quickly. Property taxes run 0.51% at the county level, a rate that looks gentle on paper but still matters when earnings are this thin. For anyone here weighing a home purchase or simply covering monthly bills, the sales tax likely hits harder than the property tax, since it applies to routine spending rather than a single annual assessment.
