What ZIP 12159 actually tells you, and what it doesn't
The 12159 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 8,663 and a median household income of $112,031. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.
The median home is priced at about 3.6 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.
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 52.0, 12159 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.
