ZIP 04982

What ZIP 04982 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 04982 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 328 and a median household income of $35,388. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

The median home costs around 5.4 times what a median household here earns in a year, placing 04982 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.

Rent absorbs roughly 31% 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.

At a median age of 48.1, 04982 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.
