ZIP Code 72342

In ZIP code 72342, which takes in Elaine, households bring in a median of $36,905 a year, while per-capita income sits at $20,836. A home priced near the median of $97,200 would draw about $787 in county property taxes at the 0.81% rate. The bigger squeeze comes at the register: sales tax totals 10.50%, so everyday purchases take a noticeable bite out of a paycheck already stretched thin. With earnings at this level, housing costs stay comparatively contained, but each shopping trip carries a heavier share of the load than the property tax bill does.
