ZIP Code 08027

ZIP code 08027, centered on Bridgeport, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $92,128 and per-capita income of $47,069. Homes here carry a median value of $251,100, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.60% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add a combined sales tax rate of 6.62%, and the overall tax load lands above what many households elsewhere face. Incomes are solid but not affluent, so property and sales taxes together take a noticeable bite out of annual budgets.
