Fort Sumner, NM — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 88134, which takes in Fort Sumner, annual per-capita income stands at $35,151. That figure shapes how far each paycheck stretches, especially since De Baca County levies property taxes at an effective 0.60% — a pace that keeps yearly housing costs tied to whatever a home is worth. Day-to-day purchases carry a combined sales tax of 4.88%, so groceries, fuel, and other essentials add a little more at checkout. Together these rates leave households weighing everyday spending against longer-term goals, with income the main constraint on how much can be saved or set aside.
