ZIP Code 08879

ZIP code 08879, centered on Edison, sits solidly in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $92,786 and per-capita income of $43,799. Homes here carry a median value of $389,800, and the county-level property tax rate of 2.10% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a combined sales tax of 6.62%, and the overall tax picture is one of steady, mid-range obligations rather than extremes. Households earning near the median can cover these costs, though the property tax in particular takes a noticeable bite out of annual budgets.
