ZIP code 06373

ZIP 06373 is a very small community in Windham County, Connecticut, with 137 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #274 of 288 ranked by population — larger than 4% of them. The median age here is 33.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in ZIP 06373 earn a median of $45,556 a year, 42% below the national figure of $78,538. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 40.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 06373 is valued at $239,300, 21.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 137 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 06373 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 06373 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 06373 is tabulated inside Windham County, Connecticut, one of 29 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 288 across Connecticut. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 06373 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 06373 reports a median household income of $45,556, 50% below the $90,651 county median, and 57% below the $105,813 typical CT ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $239,300, 10% below the county figure and 31% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Connecticut charges 6.35% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 06373.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 06373 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
