ZIP Code 03770

In ZIP code 03770, near Springfield, households earn a median of $153,750, with per-capita income at $85,280. That earnings base shapes how housing costs land: a median home value of $594,400 paired with a 2.14% county property tax rate means annual property taxes run high in dollar terms, even though the rate itself is fairly standard. There's no local sales tax, so everyday purchases aren't adding to the burden. The result is a budget where housing and property taxes absorb a meaningful share of income, but strong earnings and tax-free retail spending leave room elsewhere.
