ZIP Code 11948

In ZIP code 11948, near Stony Brook, households earn a median of $148,398, while per-capita income sits at $59,068. Home values are steep: the median property is worth $880,100, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.73% translates into a substantial annual bill on that amount. Add an 8.75% combined sales tax on purchases, and the cost structure leans heavily on housing and consumption alike. High earnings help offset these pressures, though the gap between median household and per-capita income hints at varied circumstances across the area.
