Newport, RI is covered by 2 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 24,727 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates. U.S. cities rarely map cleanly to a single ZIP — Newport splits its residents across 2 delivery areas, each with its own demographic and housing profile. The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Newport, the median household income averages $133,854 and per-capita income averages $55,700. Poverty rate runs at 8.3% and unemployment at 4.4%. On housing, the average median home value is $746,900 with median rent of $2,598 per month, and 24.9% of occupied units are owner-occupied.
