ZIP Code 12441

In ZIP code 12441, near Stamford, the county property tax rate of 1.72% shapes what owning a home actually costs. A median household income of $55,893 sits well below the per-capita figure of $103,973, hinting at wide gaps in earnings across the area. Because the tax is levied on assessed value rather than income, a household bringing in the median amount could feel squeezed by annual bills, particularly if home prices run high.
