Storrs Mansfield, CT — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 06269, which covers Storrs Mansfield, per-capita income stands at just $5,511 — a figure shaped largely by the student population at the University of Connecticut. That low earning level makes property taxes especially heavy relative to what people bring in, even though Connecticut's effective rates on home value are fairly high statewide. Combined with a 6.35% sales tax on purchases, everyday costs add up quickly. Home values here tend to reflect the campus-driven rental market rather than owner-occupant wealth, so the gap between what properties cost and what residents earn is wide.
