ZIP Code 56671

ZIP code 56671, near Bemidji, sits in working-class territory. A median household income of $48,625 and per-capita income of $18,274 trail state and national figures, while homes here carry a median value of $64,300. Property taxes run at an effective 0.67% at the county level, so a house at that median value generates roughly $430 in annual tax. That rate is gentle, but the 8.00% combined sales tax adds cost to everyday purchases, which matters more when incomes are stretched. Households here balance low housing costs against a sales tax that takes a steady bite out of each paycheck.
