What ZIP 04987 actually tells you, and what it doesn't
The 04987 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 962 and a median household income of $45,800. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.
The median home is priced at about 3.5 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 34% 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 47.8 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.
