ZIP 04276

What ZIP 04276 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 04276 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 5,871 and a median household income of $42,845. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

A home at the median costs roughly 2.6 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.

At the median, rent consumes roughly 16% of a median household's income -- below the midpoint for reporting areas, and well under the 30% line commonly used to define a cost burden.

At a median age of 51.6, 04276 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.
