ZIP Code 13847

With a per-capita income of $40,211, ZIP code 13847 sits in middle-income territory, well above poverty but short of the affluence found in some neighboring areas near Stamford. That earnings level shapes the tax picture here. The county-level property tax rate of 1.72% takes a meaningful bite out of homeownership costs, while an 8.00% combined sales tax adds to everyday expenses on purchases. Together, these rates mean households in this ZIP devote a noticeable share of income to taxes, a squeeze that lands hardest on wage earners without much cushion between paychecks and obligations.
