What ZIP 01226 actually tells you, and what it doesn't
The 01226 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 6,332 and a median household income of $76,198. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.
The median home is priced at about 3.8 times median household income, above the midpoint for reporting areas. A gap of this size usually means demand is being set by buyers whose income is not counted in this ZCTA -- commuters, second-home buyers, or investors.
Renting takes an unusually small bite of local income -- about 14% of median household income at the median rent, in the lowest quarter of the 25,890 areas reporting both.
At a median age of 49.8, 01226 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.
