ZIP code 03883

ZIP 03883 is a very small community in Carroll County, New Hampshire, with 556 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #222 of 246 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 29.8 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 03883 earn a median of $77,610 a year, 1.2% below the national figure of $78,538. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 03883 is valued at $338,600, 11.6% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 51.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 29.8 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. With 556 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 03883 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 03883 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 03883 is tabulated inside Carroll County, New Hampshire, one of 29 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 246 across New Hampshire. 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 03883 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 03883 reports a median household income of $77,610, close to the $77,783 county median, and 16% below the $92,797 typical NH ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $338,600, 6% below the county figure and close to 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.

New Hampshire charges 0% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 03883.

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 03883 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.
