ZIP Code 08854

Households in the 08854 ZIP code, centered on Edison, bring in a median of $127,806 a year, with per-capita income at $44,874. That earnings level sits well above what a $449,900 median home value would demand at the county's 2.10% effective property tax rate, which works out to roughly $9,450 annually on a home at that price. Add the 6.62% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall cost structure still leaves room in a budget built on six-figure earnings.
