ZIP Code 00606

In ZIP code 00606, households earn a median of $20,992 a year, while per-capita income sits at $10,827 — figures that leave little slack in a monthly budget. A median home value of $114,000 carries a county-level property tax rate of just 0.17%, so annual property taxes stay quite small. The sharper cost comes at checkout: an 11.50% combined sales tax applies to everyday purchases, squeezing spending power further. With earnings this limited, essentials like food and utilities absorb most of what comes in, and the high sales tax makes each shopping trip more expensive than it would be in many other places.
