ZIP Code 72074

In ZIP 72074, near Augusta, annual per-capita income of $25,225 shapes a tight but workable household budget. Homes here are valued at $91,800, and the county's 0.56% effective property tax rate means the annual tax bill lands somewhere around $514 — a figure that won't crowd out other spending. Day-to-day purchases carry an 8.50% combined sales tax, so groceries, fuel, and household goods cost a bit more at checkout. With earnings at this level, housing costs stay contained, but the sales tax takes a steady bite out of what's left each month for essentials.
