ZIP Code 01060

In ZIP code 01060, which covers Northampton, median household income stands at $76,848, while per-capita income reaches $51,436. A median home value of $453,400 carries a county-level effective property tax rate of 1.43%, and purchases face a combined sales tax of 6.25%. Together these figures sketch a local economy where earnings are solid but housing costs claim a significant share, and the property levy adds another recurring expense on top of that. Sales tax applies to most day-to-day buying, so a household's total outlay reflects both the price of owning a home and the cost of ordinary consumption.
