ZIP Code 72938

In ZIP 72938, near Fort Smith, households bring in a median of $45,114 a year, while per-capita income reaches $46,182. A median home value of $161,600 pairs with a county property tax rate of 0.62%, so annual property taxes land near $1,000. That leaves the combined sales tax rate of 9.50% as the more constant pressure on day-to-day spending, since it applies to most purchases regardless of income. With earnings at this level, housing costs stay a contained expense, but everyday consumption carries a heavier relative weight than the property tax bill does.
