ZIP Code 72422

In ZIP code 72422, which covers Corning, households bring in a median of $56,507 a year, while per-capita income sits at $30,132. That earnings level pairs with a median home value of $96,500, and the county's 0.50% effective property tax rate means annual property taxes stay under $500 on such a home. Sales taxes, though, add up quickly: the combined rate of 9.75% applies to most purchases, so everyday spending takes a bigger bite than the property tax bill. Budgets here stretch further on housing than on consumption, a split worth keeping in mind.
