ZIP Code 02457

In ZIP code 02457, near Quincy, per-capita income stands at $5,236, while the county-level effective property tax rate is 1.06%. That rate applies to whatever a home is worth, so the actual tax bill scales with property values rather than income. A household earning the area figure would owe $1,060 annually on a $100,000 assessment, and considerably more on higher-valued homes. Combined with a 6.25% sales tax, these costs shape what buyers can carry. Whether owning here feels within reach depends heavily on the gap between local earnings and prevailing home prices.
