ZIP 04061

What ZIP 04061 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 04061 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 2,909 and a median household income of $81,487. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

A home at the median costs roughly 2.4 years of median household income, a little below the midpoint of the 29,491 tabulation areas reporting both. Buying is within reach of a typical local income here in a way it is not across most of the country.

Half the residents are under 34.5, young enough to place 04061 in the youngest quarter of the 32,853 areas reporting an age. Campuses, barracks, and dense rental districts dominate this end of the range, and where that is the cause the income and poverty figures describe students rather than settled households.

The ACS publishes no median rent for 04061. Those rows read "Not reported" below rather than zero; a suppressed estimate is not a measurement of nothing. Small resident counts are the usual reason the Bureau withholds one.

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