In ZIP code 62856, near Benton, households earn a median of $60,750 a year, while per-capita income sits at $29,139. Homes here are valued at a median of $54,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.57% works out to a comparatively small annual bill on that value. Sales tax across the area totals 7.25%, which applies to everyday purchases. Balancing these figures, a household's earnings stretch differently than in places with costlier housing, since the lower home values keep property taxes contained even as the sales tax adds to routine spending.
