ZIP Code 62871

ZIP code 62871, near New Haven, shows a striking split between household earnings and home values. A median household income of $107,750 suggests solid middle-to-upper-middle earnings, yet per-capita income sits at just $32,997, and the median home value is $80,500 — far below what that household income might otherwise buy elsewhere. Property taxes run at 1.57% of value at the county level, while the combined sales tax rate is 7.25%. The result is a place where paychecks look strong on paper but housing remains inexpensive, and the tax structure leans on both property owners and everyday purchases.
