ZIP Code 39762

In ZIP code 39762, which covers Mississippi State, the average person brings in $5,390 a year — a figure that shapes nearly every household decision here. With earnings at that level, housing costs matter greatly, and the county property tax rate of 0.71% keeps annual bills tied closely to whatever a home is worth. Day-to-day purchases also carry a 7.00% combined sales tax, which adds up on essentials and leaves little slack in a tight weekly budget. Stretching such limited income across food, rent or mortgage payments, and other necessities demands careful planning throughout the year.
