ZIP Code 10950

In ZIP code 10950, which covers Middletown, households bring in a median of $78,931 a year, while per-capita income sits at $27,174 — a gap that hints at wide variation in earnings across the area. With median home values at $486,800, property taxes at the county's 2.19% rate would run roughly $10,660 annually, a hefty slice of that median income. Add an 8.12% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and paychecks get stretched further. Buyers weighing a move here should plan carefully, since housing costs and taxes together claim a substantial share of what households earn.
