ZIP 04921

What ZIP 04921 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 04921 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 1,586 and a median household income of $58,313. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

A home at the median costs roughly 2.9 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.

Median rent works out to about 19% of median household income, above the midpoint for reporting areas though still short of the 30% cost-burden line. Note that this compares two medians, not the same households: renters here typically earn less than the ZCTA-wide median, so their real share is higher.

The median age of 46.5 sits above the midpoint of reporting areas, the pattern of a settled population where more residents are past child-rearing than entering it.

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