ZIP Code 05487

With a median household income of $76,750 and per-capita income of $40,367, ZIP code 05487 sits in middle-income territory, anchored by the town of Bristol. Homes here carry a median value of $265,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.57% means owners pay roughly $4,160 annually on a house at that price. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load tracks with what similar middle-income communities see. Incomes and housing costs move together here, so the area avoids both the strain of high-tax, low-wage markets and the affluence of wealthier ZIPs.
