ZIP Code 12459

With a per-capita income of $51,127, ZIP code 12459 sits in middle-income territory rather than among the affluent. The county-level property tax rate of 1.72% takes a meaningful bite out of that income, ranking well above what many homeowners elsewhere pay. Adding an 8.00% combined sales tax means everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium too. Stamford serves as the principal city associated with this area, and its cost structure shapes much of the local tax picture. Between property and sales taxes, households here face a combined load that leans heavier than the income level alone might imply.
