ZIP Code 57006

In ZIP code 57006, which covers Brookings, households bring in a median of $66,337 a year, while per-capita income sits at $36,078. That earnings level shapes how far each paycheck stretches. A home priced at the median $273,900 carries county property taxes at an effective 1.13%, and purchases ring up a combined 6.20% sales tax. Together these rates draw on income from two directions: once a year through the property tax bill, and every time someone buys goods locally. How comfortably a household absorbs both depends largely on what it earns and how much of that income goes toward housing.
