In ZIP code 59826, near Missoula, households report a median income of $52,813, while per-capita income reaches $34,436. Homes here carry a median value of $507,800, so property taxes at the county's 0.88 percent rate would run roughly $4,469 annually — a meaningful slice of earnings at this income level. That leaves little slack once mortgage payments, insurance, and daily costs enter the picture.
