ZIP Code 13846

In ZIP code 13846, households earn a median of $32,857, while per-capita income comes to $23,108 — a gap that signals many homes rely on more than one earner or on retirement and transfer income. Buying in the Stamford area at the median home value of $222,200 means carrying a property tax bill near 1.72% of assessed worth, a county-level rate that adds up quickly against earnings at this level. Sales tax of 8.00% trims everyday spending further. Together these costs leave little slack, so housing choices here hinge heavily on what a household actually takes in.
