ZIP 04265

What ZIP 04265 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 04265 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 697 and a median household income of $41,619. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

The median home is priced at about 3.7 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.

Rent absorbs roughly 33% 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.

The median age of 44.6 sits above the midpoint of reporting areas, the pattern of a settled population where more residents are past child-rearing than entering it.

The ACS publishes no unemployment rate for 04265. 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.
