ZIP 00677

What ZIP 00677 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 00677 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 15,304 and a median household income of $26,404. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

The median home costs around 5.2 times what a median household here earns in a year, placing 00677 in the most expensive quarter of reporting areas. Wherever the multiple runs this far ahead of local pay, ownership is largely closed to people earning the local median, and the rental figures below matter more than the sale price.

Rent absorbs roughly 26% of median household income, among the highest quarter of reporting areas. Because renter households usually earn below the area-wide median, the burden on actual renters runs higher than this ratio shows.

At a median age of 48.7, 00677 falls in the oldest quarter of reporting areas. Retirement destinations and long-settled rural areas cluster here, and in both the labour-force measures below cover a smaller share of residents than they would in a younger area.

ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
