ZIP Code 11719

ZIP code 11719, in the Stony Brook area, sits firmly in affluent territory. A median household income of $126,250 and per-capita income of $51,806 reflect earning power well above national norms, while a median home value of $658,700 signals a high-cost housing market. That price tag carries a county-level effective property tax rate of 1.73%, a substantial annual obligation on such valuable property. Add an 8.75% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load matches the area's prosperity. Households here generally have the income to absorb these costs, though the figures show this is not a low-tax place to live.
