ZIP Code 72389

In ZIP code 72389, near Elaine, households earn a median of $21,528 a year, while per-capita income reaches $28,772. The county's 0.81% effective property tax rate is applied to home values, so the actual tax bill depends heavily on what a house is worth. Because earnings here are lower than the per-capita figure implies for many families, even a small assessed value can absorb a meaningful share of annual income. A combined sales tax of 8.50% adds further cost to everyday purchases, tightening what is left after housing and taxes are paid.
