ZIP Code 02647

With a per-capita income of $86,980, ZIP code 02647 ranks among the wealthier areas in Massachusetts, well above state and national averages. That affluence shows up in the tax picture around Buzzards Bay: the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 0.67%, and the combined sales tax rate is 6.25%. High earning power paired with a below-average property tax rate means homeowners here keep a larger share of their income than in many other parts of the state. The sales tax applies to purchases broadly, but it does little to offset the overall favorable position this ZIP's residents occupy.
