ZIP Code 02115

ZIP code 02115, in Boston, pairs a median household income of $54,991 with a per-capita income of $38,695, placing it in middle-income territory even as its median home value reaches $945,100. That gap points to a mix of long-term owners and renters rather than a uniformly wealthy population. County property taxes run at an effective 0.66%, so a home at that median value would generate roughly $6,238 a year. Add Boston's 6.25% combined sales tax, and the overall load stays tied to a fairly broad tax base.
