ZIP Code 02646

Households in the 02646 ZIP code, centered on Buzzards Bay, bring in a median of $81,172 a year, while per-capita income reaches $73,587. Home values are steep here, with a median of $896,000, yet the county-level property tax rate of 0.67% keeps annual bills lower than many Massachusetts communities charging far more. Sales tax runs 6.25% on purchases. High housing costs absorb a large share of earnings, so buyers should weigh mortgage payments against that income level carefully, while the sales tax adds a little to everyday spending.
