Abbeville, MS — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 38677, near Abbeville, per-capita income stands at just $3,601, so even a home priced at $100,000 would carry $550 in yearly county property taxes at the 0.55% effective rate — an amount equal to more than two weeks of income for the average person here. Sales taxes add 7.00% to purchases, further stretching tight earnings. That combination means buying property in this area demands careful planning, since the tax bill alone can rival a significant share of what residents bring in each year.
