ZIP Code 05491

Households in the 05491 ZIP code, centered on Bristol, earn a median of $87,917, with per-capita income at $42,392 — a middle-income profile rather than an affluent one. Homes here carry a median value of $337,400, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.57% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add the 7.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load sits squarely in the middle range for the region. Incomes and home values move together here, so the tax obligation scales with property wealth without pushing residents into a distinctly high- or low-tax bracket.
