Derma, MS — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a median household income of $40,536 and per-capita income of $13,738, ZIP code 38839, which falls in the Derma area, sits squarely in working-class territory. Those earnings trail state and national figures by a wide margin, and the low per-capita number points to smaller households or limited earners spread across the population. Property taxes run at 0.66% of value at the county level, a rate that keeps annual bills from climbing too high even as home values stay restrained. Shoppers here pay a 7.00% combined sales tax, so everyday purchases carry a steady cost that weighs more heavily against these income levels.
