ZIP Code 04746

In ZIP code 04746, which covers Orient, households earn a median of $35,417, while per-capita income reaches $32,407. Homes here carry a median value of $85,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.12% translates into a yearly bill near $952 on such a home. Combined with a 5.50% sales tax, those costs take a real bite out of earnings that sit below many parts of the state. Stretching a paycheck across housing, groceries, and other essentials calls for careful planning, since neither property nor sales taxes are negligible at this income level.
