ZIP Code 03079

Households in ZIP code 03079, centered on Auburn, earn a median of $110,490, with per-capita income at $58,510 — placing the area squarely in affluent territory rather than middle-income. Home values reinforce that standing, with a median of $473,300. Property taxes are levied at 1.58% at the county level, so a home assessed at that median would carry an annual bill well above what lower-priced markets see.
