ZIP Code 65897

In ZIP code 65897, near Springfield, per-capita income stands at just $3,985. With a county-level effective property tax rate of 0.71%, a home valued at $100,000 would carry roughly $710 in annual property taxes — an amount that would exceed a fifth of what the average person here earns in a year. That gap shapes how housing costs land on households: even a low rate can weigh heavily against such small incomes. A combined sales tax rate of 5.97% adds further pressure on daily spending, trimming whatever remains after shelter costs are covered.
