ZIP Code 05042

In ZIP code 05042, which takes in East Ryegate, households bring in a median of $96,250 a year, with per-capita income at $52,973. That earnings level shapes how far a paycheck stretches: a home valued at $273,400 carries a county property tax rate of 1.76%, and purchases face a combined 6.00% sales tax. Together these costs draw on income that sits well above many parts of the state, though the property levy on a median-priced house still claims a meaningful share each year. Buyers and long-time owners alike weigh that annual bill against what they earn.
