ZIP Code 72178

In ZIP 72178, near Bald Knob, per-capita income stands at $17,900, so everyday spending claims a large share of what households bring in. A median home value of $72,100 keeps property taxes low: the county's 0.46% effective rate works out to roughly $332 a year on that home. That leaves the 8.25% combined sales tax as the more constant pressure, since it applies each time people buy goods. With earnings at this level, housing costs stay contained, but routine purchases take a noticeable bite, making sales tax the figure that shapes weekly finances most directly.
