ZIP Code 08832

In ZIP code 08832, near Edison, households earn an average of $27,202 per person, while homes are valued at $278,800. The county's 2.10% property tax rate means a home at that median value would carry an annual bill of roughly $5,855. Add the 6.62% combined sales tax on purchases, and the cost picture tightens: a single-income household at the per-capita level would see property taxes alone consume more than a fifth of annual earnings before sales tax enters the calculation. Housing costs and these two tax rates together shape daily financial decisions here.
