ZIP Code 01462

In ZIP code 01462, near Worcester, households earn a median of $112,992, with per-capita income at $53,479. Homes here carry a median value of $463,800, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.28% shapes annual ownership costs. Combined with a 6.25% sales tax, everyday purchases and major transactions both draw on earnings. A household bringing in roughly $113,000 can absorb these costs, though the property tax tied to a home near $464,000 takes a meaningful bite each year. What remains depends on mortgage terms, spending habits, and how much of that income goes toward housing versus other priorities.
