ZIP Code 39643

Sandy Hook's 39643 ZIP code sits in working-class to middle-income territory, with a median household income of $56,042 and per-capita income of $21,278. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.75%, a comparatively gentle pull on homeowners' wallets. Sales tax, by contrast, reaches 7.00% on purchases, so day-to-day spending carries a heavier share of the local tax load than property ownership does. Households here earn below many metro-area benchmarks, making that combined rate a noticeable factor in everyday costs even as property taxes stay restrained.
