ZIP Code 66769

In ZIP code 66769, near Fort Scott, homes carry a median value of $135,800 while households bring in a median of $80,000, and per-capita income sits at $27,840. The county's 1.57% effective property tax rate means a home at that median value would generate roughly $2,132 in annual taxes, a figure that takes a smaller bite out of a median household's earnings than of an individual's per-capita share, since household income pools multiple earners. Sales taxes add 8.15% at checkout on purchases. Homeownership here hinges less on price than on how household earnings stack up against that recurring tax bill.
