ZIP Code 57251

Households in ZIP 57251, centered on Big Stone City, earn a median of $72,292, while per-capita income sits at $19,431 — a gap that points to larger households pooling several earners rather than widespread affluence. Home values near $75,000 keep mortgages small, and the county's 0.91% property tax rate produces a yearly bill well under four figures on such a home. Sales tax runs 4.20%. This is a working- to middle-income area where housing costs stay contained and the overall tax load stays low, though the low per-capita figure hints at limited individual earning power.
