Columbia, MO — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 65203, in the Columbia area, sits comfortably in middle-income territory: a median household income of $79,960 and per-capita income of $51,848 place it above many parts of Missouri, while a median home value of $348,800 signals a solidly established homeowner base. The county-level effective property tax rate of 0.85% keeps annual bills comparatively contained against that home value. Sales tax, though, runs 7.97% on purchases, so everyday spending carries a noticeable premium. Together these figures describe a community that is neither working-class nor wealthy, but steadily middle-income, with property taxes staying gentle and consumption taxes doing more of the lifting.
