ZIP Code 13623

With a per-capita income of $31,256, ZIP code 13623 sits in working-class territory, well below what affluent communities command. Residents near Potsdam contend with a 2.33% county property tax rate, a meaningful pull on household finances at this income level. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. Together these rates mean earners here hand over a substantial slice of their paychecks to state and local coffers, shaping a cost-of-living picture where wages stretch less far than the income figure alone might imply.
