In ZIP code 04642, near Aurora, households bring in a median of $71,563 a year, while per-capita income reaches $54,863. That earnings level sits comfortably against a median home value of $384,600, though buying at that price means weighing property taxes, which run about 0.82% of assessed value at the county level.
