ZIP Code 37847

With a median household income of $35,066 and per-capita income of $23,326, ZIP code 37847 sits squarely in working-class territory. Homes around Caryville carry a median value of $115,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.37% keeps annual bills fairly contained. The combined sales tax rate of 9.25%, though, takes a noticeable bite out of everyday purchases — a heavier share of the load for households earning at this level than the property tax itself. Together, these figures point to a community where wages run below national norms and consumption taxes weigh more heavily than homeownership costs.
