ZIP Code 83278

In ZIP code 83278, which takes in Challis, households bring in a median of $81,602 a year, while per-capita income sits at $39,767. Home values run high here, with a median of $606,300, yet the county property tax rate of 0.29% keeps annual taxes unusually light on such expensive housing. Sales taxes, though, add up quickly at a combined 9.00%, so everyday purchases claim a noticeable share of earnings. The gap between strong home values and moderate incomes means housing wealth matters more than monthly cash flow for many families in this area.
