ZIP Code 13639

ZIP code 13639, in the Potsdam area, sits on the lower end of the income scale, with a median household income of $21,346 and per-capita income of $18,709. Home values run $52,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 2.33% means property taxes claim a meaningful share of already-limited earnings. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases carry a heavier load than in many places. This is a working-class community where taxes weigh on tight budgets rather than sit comfortably alongside higher wages.
