ZIP 12136

What ZIP 12136 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 12136 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 790 and a median household income of $150,114. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

A home at the median costs roughly 2.7 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 a median age of 61.8, 12136 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.

The ACS publishes no median rent or unemployment rate for 12136. 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.
