ZIP Code 08735

ZIP code 08735, in the Toms River area, sits in affluent territory by income and especially by housing. A median household income of $76,974 and per-capita income of $81,493 support that, but the median home value of $872,300 stands out far more. Property taxes follow at a 1.65% county rate, a hefty annual bill on a home at that price. Sales tax runs 6.62%. So this is a high-value housing market with upper-middle earnings, where owners carry a substantial property tax load tied to expensive real estate.
