ZIP Code 12174

In ZIP 12174, near Austerlitz, households bring in a median income of $51,131, while per-capita income reaches $37,894. That earnings level shapes how far each dollar stretches: county property taxes run 1.40%, and the combined sales tax sits at 8.00%, so both housing costs and everyday purchases take a noticeable bite. A household earning the median can expect a meaningful share of annual income to go toward taxes tied to homeownership, with the sales tax adding to routine expenses throughout the year. Budgeting here means weighing those obligations against take-home pay on a fairly fixed income.
