Terre Haute, IN — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 47809, near Terre Haute, per-capita income stands at just $4,492, so the county's 0.88% effective property tax rate lands on a very thin earnings base. A home valued at $100,000 would carry roughly $880 in annual property taxes, which is nearly a fifth of what the average resident here earns in a year. That tension shapes how housing costs are felt locally: even a low rate becomes heavy when incomes are this small. Sales taxes add another 7.00% to everyday purchases, further stretching tight budgets across this part of Indiana.
