ZIP Code 05255

ZIP code 05255, centered on Peru, sits comfortably in the middle-to-upper income range, with a median household income of $91,058 and per-capita income of $61,164. Homes here carry a median value of $445,500, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.64% translates into a meaningful annual bill on that valuation. Add a combined sales tax rate of 7.00%, and the overall tax picture reflects a community where earnings are solid but housing costs and associated taxes claim a notable share. This isn't a working-class profile, nor is it truly affluent—it's a stable, middle-income area with corresponding tax obligations.
