ZIP Code 00688

In ZIP code 00688, households earn a median of $18,023, while per-capita income comes to $14,068. A median home is valued at $105,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.35% works out to a relatively small annual bill on that value. Sales tax, however, runs 11.50% combined, a steep add-on to everyday purchases. With incomes this low, the housing cost is the heaviest lift, and the high sales tax takes a further bite out of whatever remains after the mortgage or rent is paid.
