ZIP Code 11770

In ZIP code 11770, near Stony Brook, households earn a median of $123,571, though per-capita income sits at $33,801, a gap that hints at larger households or varied earners within them. Homes here carry a median value of $1,055,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.73% means owners pay substantially each year on that valuation. Combined with an 8.75% sales tax, everyday purchases cost more too. The earnings picture supports these costs, but the spread between household and per-person income shows how differently budgets stretch from one home to the next.
