ZIP code 02357

ZIP 02357 is a small town in Bristol County, Massachusetts, with 1,410 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #451 of 539 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 20 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 02357 earn a median of not published a year. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches an unpublished share of residents here.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 02357 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The homeownership rate is not published. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 20 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent, poverty rate for ZIP 02357 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 02357 is tabulated inside Bristol County, Massachusetts, one of 35 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 539 across Massachusetts. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. 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 02357 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

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 02357 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.
