ZIP Code 01778

Households in ZIP code 01778, near Cambridge, report a median income of $219,375, with per-capita earnings of $104,236. That earning power shapes how housing and taxes fit into the budget: the median home value sits at $977,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.03% works out to a meaningful annual bill on a home at that price. Sales taxes add 6.25% at checkout. Even with those costs, income levels here are high enough that property taxes and everyday purchases absorb a smaller share of earnings than in many other places.
