ZIP Code 12859

With a median household income of $71,250 and per-capita income of $41,695, ZIP code 12859 sits squarely in middle-income territory, anchored by Ballston Lake. Homes here carry a median value of $210,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.40% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add a combined sales tax of 7.00% on purchases, and the overall tax picture reflects a working-to-middle-class area where housing costs stay within reach but local levies still claim a real slice of earnings.
