ZIP Code 02891

ZIP code 02891, centered on Ashaway, sits in affluent territory: a median household income of $97,110 and per-capita income of $60,285 place it well above national norms, while homes carry a median value of $470,000. Property taxes run at 1.00% of assessed value at the county level, so a house at that median would generate roughly $4,700 in annual taxes. Add a 7.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load tilts toward the higher end, though the strong income base absorbs it more easily than many places manage.
