ZIP Code 06350

In ZIP code 06350, which takes in part of East Lyme, households earn a median of $40,950 a year, while per-capita income reaches $29,093. That gap hints at smaller household sizes or more single earners than a typical town. On that median income, everyday purchases carry a 6.35% combined sales tax, so each $100 spent on taxable goods costs $106.35. Essentials like groceries and rent won't be taxed the same way, but the rate still trims spending power on clothing, electronics, and meals out. The per-capita figure suggests some residents live on considerably less than the median, making careful weekly budgeting important.
