ZIP Code 10979

ZIP code 10979, near Middletown, sits in middle-income territory, with per-capita income of $37,173. That figure trails many suburban counterparts, yet it doesn't signal hardship. The county-level property tax rate of 2.19% takes a meaningful bite out of ownership costs, so homeowners here feel that levy directly. Add an 8.12% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. Together these rates shape a place where earnings stretch carefully rather than freely, and where taxes claim a steady share of household budgets.
