Columbus, MS — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 39743, near Columbus, sits in working-class to middle-income territory, with a median household income of $51,654 and per-capita income of $29,463. Home values run low at a median of $44,500, so property taxes stay contained: the county's 0.60% effective rate works out to a few hundred dollars annually on that median home. A 7.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases in the area, a rate that shapes day-to-day costs alongside the housing savings. Incomes here trail state and national medians, but the pairing of inexpensive housing and a low property tax rate keeps ownership within reach for many working households.
