ZIP Code 62278

In ZIP code 62278, which takes in Columbia, households bring in a median of $79,688 a year, while per-capita income sits at $41,362. That earnings base shapes how far a paycheck stretches here. A home priced at the median $178,300 would draw property taxes at a 1.63% county rate, and purchases carry a combined 7.50% sales tax. Together those levies pull money out of the monthly flow, so what's left for savings, groceries, and everything else depends on how housing and spending line up against that roughly $80,000 income.
