ZIP Code 38256

In ZIP code 38256, near Buchanan, households earn a median of $56,023, while per-capita income sits at $33,457. A median home value of $166,400 paired with a 0.44% county property tax rate means annual property taxes stay comparatively contained. Sales taxes are another matter: the combined rate of 9.75% applies to most purchases, so everyday spending carries a noticeable premium. Together, these figures sketch a place where housing costs and property taxes sit lower than the sales tax rate might imply, and where income levels shape how much of each paycheck goes toward simply getting by.
