ZIP Code 02124

In ZIP 02124, part of Boston, households earn a median of $81,923, or $41,235 per person. A median home value of $650,700 carries a county property tax rate of 0.66%, and sales taxes combine to 6.25%. Together these figures sketch a high-cost housing market paired with comparatively gentle taxation: the property levy adds roughly $4,295 a year on a median-valued home, while the sales tax applies only to purchases. Income here trails the home prices by a wide margin, so carrying a mortgage likely absorbs a large share of earnings, even though neither tax rate stands out as steep.
