ZIP Code 72006

In ZIP code 72006, which takes in Augusta, households earn a median of $51,775 a year, while per-capita income sits at $26,730. A median home value of $126,800 paired with a 0.56% county property tax rate means annual property taxes stay low enough that housing costs don't dominate the paycheck. Sales taxes, though, add up: the combined rate of 9.50% takes a noticeable bite out of everyday purchases. Altogether, earnings here stretch further on housing than on spending, so a household's day-to-day budget depends heavily on how much of its income goes toward taxable goods and services.
