ZIP Code 72670

Someone earning the per-capita income of $35,521 in the Deer area, ZIP code 72670, would see that money stretched by a county property tax rate of just 0.38 percent. Sales taxes, though, run 7.50 percent, adding to the cost of everyday purchases. With earnings at this level, housing costs tied to property taxes stay low, but each shopping trip carries a heavier markup than the property tax side does. Budgeting here means watching consumption expenses more closely than ownership costs, since the sales tax takes a bigger bite relative to income than the annual levy on a home does.
