ZIP Code 39179

With a median household income of $33,500 and per-capita income of $28,345, ZIP code 39179 sits in working-class territory, well below what many Mississippi communities report. Benton anchors this area, where the county-level property tax rate of 0.78% applies to local assessments. A 7.00% combined sales tax adds to everyday costs, a noticeable bite given the income levels here. Households in this ZIP stretch each dollar further than most, balancing a lower property tax load against a sales tax that takes its share at the register.
