ZIP Code 12550

In ZIP code 12550, which covers Middletown, households bring in a median of $85,697 a year, while per-capita income sits at $39,933. That earnings level meets a housing market where the median home is valued at $340,900, and county property taxes run at an effective rate of 2.19% — a real cost that shapes what buyers can carry. Day-to-day purchases also carry an 8.12% combined sales tax. Together these figures sketch a place where income supports ownership, but taxes on both property and spending claim a meaningful share of the annual budget.
