ZIP Code 04005

In Berwick (ZIP 04005), a median home value of $396,000 against an effective county property tax rate of 0.96% implies roughly $3,800 in annual property taxes. With median household income at $74,647, that tax bill consumes about 5% of household earnings each year, a meaningful slice of the budget given the area's pricey housing stock. Per-capita income sits at $40,052, so single earners may feel the squeeze more acutely. A combined sales tax of 5.50% adds a bit more to everyday costs, though the property tax remains the larger recurring expense tied to owning a home here.
