Dierks, AR — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Dierks, in ZIP 71959, sits toward the working-class end of the income scale, with per-capita income of $27,031. Housing costs stay within reach: the median home value is $136,700, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.59% keeps annual tax bills low enough that ownership doesn't demand a large income. A combined sales tax of 8.50% applies to purchases in the area, which adds up faster than the property tax for anyone spending heavily on goods. Taken together, the tax picture leans on consumption more than on property, a pattern that fits a community where incomes are earned rather than invested.
