ZIP Code 04046

Households in the 04046 ZIP code, centered on Berwick, bring in a median of $102,529 a year, with per-capita income at $63,726. That earnings level shapes how housing and taxes fit together here: a median home valued at $586,100 carries an effective county property tax rate of 0.96%, while the combined sales tax sits at 5.50%. Day-to-day purchases take a smaller bite than the property tax bill does, so owners feel the cost of housing most directly through their annual tax payment. Renters, meanwhile, largely sidestep that expense and keep more of each paycheck available for other needs.
