ZIP Code 05462

In ZIP 05462, near Bristol, households earn a median of $94,334, with per-capita income at $48,598. That earnings base meets home values averaging $334,300, and the county's 1.51% property tax rate translates into a notable annual bill on such a home. Add Connecticut's 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and daily spending carries its own cost. Budgeting here means balancing a solid income against property taxes tied to higher home values and sales tax on everyday goods. The earnings picture supports ownership, though taxes claim a meaningful share of the annual outlay.
