Orono, ME — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a median household income of $64,229 and per-capita income of $32,345, ZIP 04427 sits in middle-income territory rather than among Maine's wealthier enclaves. Homes here carry a median value of $135,800, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.16% means owners pay roughly $1,575 annually on a house at that price. Sales tax runs 5.50% on purchases. Orono anchors the area, and its presence as a university town shapes the local economy. Together these figures describe a working- and middle-class community where housing costs stay within reach and the tax load remains steady rather than steep.
