ZIP Code 72040

In the Biscoe area (ZIP 72040), households earn a median of $32,476, while per-capita income sits at $28,087. Homes here are valued at a median of $74,800, and the county's 0.72% effective property tax rate applies to that figure. Sales taxes, though, add up to 11.00% on purchases. That split matters: property taxes stay low against a modestly priced home, but everyday spending carries a heavier load. A household weighing where its money goes should keep both sides of that equation in view, since income here is limited and the sales tax takes a noticeable bite.
