ZIP Code 37879

With a median household income of $47,864 and per-capita income of $29,840, ZIP code 37879 sits in working-class to lower-middle-income territory, well below what many metro areas command. Homes here carry a median value of $153,800, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.49% keeps annual tax bills on such a home near $750. That's a gentle load compared with many parts of the country. The combined sales tax rate of 9.25%, however, adds meaningful cost to everyday purchases around Cumberland Gap, so the overall tax picture leans more on consumption than on property ownership.
