ZIP Code 11422

In ZIP code 11422, near Jamaica, households earn a median of $114,697, while per-capita income sits at $42,602 — a gap that hints at larger households pooling earnings. Buying at the median home value of $665,500 means carrying a property tax bill based on the county's 0.87% effective rate, a cost that stays fixed regardless of how income shifts year to year. Day-to-day spending also carries an 8.88% combined sales tax, which quietly adds to every purchase. Together these figures shape how far a paycheck stretches: housing and taxes claim a meaningful share, so careful planning matters more than raw income alone.
