ZIP Code 01107

ZIP code 01107 sits in Springfield, where households earn a median of $35,632 and per-capita income reaches $22,840 — figures that place the area firmly in working-class territory. Homes here carry a median value of $243,600, and the county's 1.49% effective property tax rate means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a 6.25% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load weighs noticeably on budgets that are already stretched. Incomes well below state and national medians leave less slack for these obligations, making this ZIP one where taxes take a real bite.
