ZIP Code 47847

ZIP code 47847, centered on Blanford, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. Households earn a median of $53,924, while per-capita income reaches $31,192. Home values run low: the median property is worth $62,700, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.69% keeps annual bills restrained on such valuations. Sales tax, though, is another matter — the combined rate of 7.00% applies to everyday purchases and takes a steady bite out of paychecks that are already stretched. The picture is one of a community where housing costs stay within reach but consumption taxes and moderate wages shape daily finances.
