ZIP Code 62891

Benton's 62891 ZIP code sits firmly in working-class territory, with a median household income of $27,344 and per-capita income of $26,783. Homes here carry a median value of $78,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.57% applies to that assessed worth. Shoppers pay a combined 7.25% sales tax on purchases. Incomes at this level leave tight margins once housing, food, and other essentials are covered, so the property tax on a home valued near $78,500 and the sales tax on everyday goods both draw meaningfully from household earnings.
