ZIP Code 05747

Households in ZIP code 05747, near Bristol, earn a median of $57,917, with per-capita income at $33,247 — placing the area in middle-income territory rather than among Connecticut's wealthier enclaves. Homes carry a median value of $226,700, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.57% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall cost of living here leans on working- and middle-class budgets. Incomes and home values sit below state norms, so the tax load carries noticeable weight.
