ZIP Code 00603

With a median household income of $20,933 and per-capita income of $15,651, ZIP code 00603 sits in working-class territory, well below what most American households earn. Home values average $152,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.38% keeps annual property taxes quite low in dollar terms. The bigger cost is at the register: an 11.50% combined sales tax rate means everyday purchases carry a heavy premium, a burden that falls hardest on households spending most of their income on goods. Limited earnings, low property taxes, and steep consumption taxes define this area's financial picture.
