ZIP Code 06053

In ZIP code 06053, near Hartford, homes carry a median value of $220,800 while households bring in $62,645 a year and per-capita income sits at $31,748. That gap between earnings and home prices shapes how property taxes land here. A combined sales tax rate of 6.35% applies to purchases, and Connecticut's property levy is assessed against that $220,800 median — so the annual bill scales with home value rather than with what residents actually earn. Buyers stretching to cover a mortgage at this price point may find the tax line adds meaningful pressure to monthly costs.
