ZIP Code 66711

With a median household income of $58,333 and per-capita income of $26,318, ZIP code 66711 sits in working-class to middle-income territory, anchored by Fort Scott. Homes here carry a median value of $68,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.06% means owners pay a comparatively small amount annually on that assessed value. Shoppers face a combined sales tax of 7.50%, which adds up on everyday purchases. Overall, the tax structure leans on consumption rather than property, a pattern that fits a community where wages are steady but not high and housing costs stay within reach.
