ZIP Code 08234

In ZIP code 08234, near Absecon, households bring in a median of $98,217 a year, while per-capita income sits at $41,887. That earnings level supports a median home value of $313,200, though the county's 2.30% effective property tax rate means owning such a home carries a meaningful annual bill. Add the 6.62% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and a notable share of income goes toward housing and consumption taxes. Even so, the gap between median household earnings and per-capita income points to multi-earner households, which helps absorb these costs across the budget.
