ZIP Code 12131

ZIP code 12131, near Carlisle, sits squarely in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $71,563 and per-capita income of $41,636. Homes here carry a median value of $165,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.03% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes.
