What ZIP 02186 actually tells you, and what it doesn't
The 02186 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 28,683 and a median household income of $170,144. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.
The median home costs around 4.9 times what a median household here earns in a year, placing 02186 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.
Renting takes an unusually small bite of local income -- about 11% of median household income at the median rent, in the lowest quarter of the 25,890 areas reporting both.
A median age of 40.0 is on the younger side of the reporting range -- the profile of an area still taking in households at the family-forming stage rather than one that has finished doing so.
ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
