ZIP Code 05775

With a median household income of $61,563 and per-capita income of $35,408, ZIP code 05775, centered on Peru, sits in middle-income territory rather than among the area's wealthier enclaves. Homes here carry a median value of $198,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.81% 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 tax picture reflects a working- and middle-class community where housing costs stay within reach but tax obligations still shape household finances.
