ZIP Code 02823

ZIP code 02823, part of the Providence area, sits in working-class territory: a median household income of $31,607 and per-capita income of $23,247 both trail statewide norms by a wide margin. That earnings level shapes how taxes land here. The county-level property tax rate of 1.25% applies to assessments that tend to track lower home values, so annual bills stay smaller in dollar terms than in wealthier parts of Rhode Island. A 7.00% combined sales tax adds cost to everyday purchases, a heavier share of a tighter budget. Together these figures describe a community where taxes take a real bite out of limited earnings.
