ZIP Code 06608

In ZIP code 06608, which takes in part of Bridgeport, households earn a median of $45,754, while per-capita income sits at $23,771. A median home value of $235,800 stands well above what that household income could readily carry, so housing weighs heavily here. The combined sales tax rate of 6.35% adds a bit more to everyday purchases. Taken together, the picture is one of constrained buying power: incomes trail the home values in this area, and the sales tax skims a little off each transaction, shaping how far a paycheck stretches for those living in and around Bridgeport.
