In ZIP code 06457, which covers Middletown, homes carry a median value of $295,300 while households bring in a median of $79,463 a year. That gap between earnings and purchase price shapes how much property tax a buyer can absorb, since the rate applies to assessed value rather than income. Per-capita income sits at $46,213, lower than the household figure because more people share each home. Sales tax in this area totals 6.35 percent, adding a bit to everyday purchases. Together these figures sketch a market where entry costs stay within reach of many working households, though the tax bill still tracks closely with what a home is worth.
