ZIP Code 52738

In ZIP code 52738, which takes in Wapello, households bring in a median of $80,385 a year, while per-capita income sits at $33,829. A median home there is valued at $145,700, and the county's 1.17% effective property tax rate works out to a fairly contained annual bill on a house at that price. Sales taxes combine to 7.00%, so everyday purchases carry a noticeable but not overwhelming added cost. With earnings outpacing the housing stock's price point, many households can cover both taxes without straining, though the per-capita figure hints that incomes are spread unevenly across the area.
