ZIP Code 06606

In ZIP code 06606, which takes in part of Bridgeport, households bring in a median of $73,372 a year, while per-capita income sits at $37,738. A median home value of $289,000 shapes the housing side of the ledger, and Connecticut's 6.35% combined sales tax adds a bit to everyday purchases. With earnings at that level against those home prices, owners here tend to devote a meaningful share of income to housing and taxes, trimming what's left for savings, travel, or emergencies. Renters and buyers alike feel the squeeze, since the same income must stretch across both daily costs and long-term obligations.
