The median property tax rate of 0.61% is also lower than the state rate of 0.65% and the national rate of 0.74%, which keeps the cost of owning a home low in both purchase price and annual tax.
The median household income is $46,100, below the state figure of $64,686 and the national figure of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 3.28% is higher than Virginia's 2.58% and the national rate of 2.87%, indicating a somewhat softer job market than average.
