ZIP Code 37845

In ZIP code 37845, near Coalfield, households earn a median of $15,486, while per-capita income sits at $13,363. With a county-level effective property tax rate of 0.52%, a home's assessed value matters enormously against those earnings, since even a low rate can consume a meaningful share of income at this level. Sales taxes add 9.00% to purchases, further tightening what's left after housing costs. The combination of very low incomes and a rate that looks small on paper means property taxes here weigh heavily relative to what people actually bring in each year.
