ZIP Code 11963

Stony Brook's 11963 ZIP code sits firmly in affluent territory, with a median household income of $127,746 and per-capita income of $100,849. Home values tell an even starker story: the median property is worth $1,208,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.73% translates into a substantial annual bill at that valuation. Add an 8.75% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall cost of living here runs high. Households in this ZIP generally have the earnings to absorb that load, though the property tax alone claims a meaningful share of income even at these levels.
