ZIP Code 72904

In ZIP code 72904, which takes in part of Fort Smith, households earn a median of $41,909, or $18,424 per person. A median home here is valued at $111,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.62% works out to a comparatively gentle yearly bill on that price. Sales taxes are another matter: the combined rate reaches 9.50%, so everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. Together these figures sketch a place where housing costs stay contained and property taxes are low, but a moderate income still meets a steep consumption tax at the register.
