Jackson, MS — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 39217, which covers part of Jackson, per-capita income stands at $3,754, so the cost of owning a home weighs heavily against what people bring in. The county-level effective property tax rate is 0.88%, meaning a $100,000 home would draw roughly $880 in annual taxes — a sum that eats into earnings far more sharply here than in places with higher incomes. Combined with an 8.00% sales tax, everyday purchases also chip away at limited resources, tightening what's left for housing.
