ZIP Code 37687

ZIP code 37687, near Johnson City, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $49,914 and per-capita income of $25,067. Homes here carry a median value of $160,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.51% keeps annual taxes on such a home below what many higher-rate areas demand. That advantage is partly offset by a combined sales tax rate of 9.75%, which adds noticeably to everyday purchases. Households earning around the median thus face a tax mix weighted toward consumption rather than property, a pattern that shapes day-to-day costs more than ownership itself.
