ZIP Code 72851

Households around Blue Mountain in ZIP code 72851 earn a median of $68,750, with per-capita income at $29,327 — a middle-income profile rather than an affluent one. Homes here carry a median value of $190,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.51% translates into a comparatively gentle annual bill on that value. Sales tax, though, runs 8.50% on purchases, so everyday spending carries more of the load than property ownership does. The mix points to a working- to middle-income area where real estate taxes stay contained while consumption taxes supply much of the local revenue.
