ZIP Code 08046

With a median household income of $98,178 in ZIP 08046, near Joint Base Mdl, earnings run well above what per-capita income of $40,320 alone would indicate, pointing to multi-earner households. A median home value of $269,900 taxed at the county's 2.25% rate works out to roughly $6,073 a year in property taxes, a real line item against that income. Add the 6.62% combined sales tax on purchases, and daily spending carries its own cost. Even so, the gap between household earnings and these obligations leaves room many areas don't have.
