ZIP Code 56641

In ZIP code 56641, near Backus, homes carry a median value of $159,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.56% yields an annual bill of roughly $890. With median household income at $39,688, that tax equals about 2.2% of a typical household's yearly earnings — a share that stays contained because the rate itself is low, even though local incomes trail state and national figures. Per-capita income sits at $28,940. A combined sales tax of 7.38% applies to purchases. Homeownership here hinges less on price than on how far modest earnings stretch against that yearly tax.
