ZIP Code 15087

With a per-capita income of $41,761, ZIP code 15087 sits in middle-income territory, anchored by the borough of Monessen. That earnings level shapes how the area's taxes land on households. Property owners here face a county-level effective rate of 1.23%, a figure that takes a steady bite out of home value each year. Sales tax across the ZIP runs 6.00%, applied to everyday purchases. Together, these rates reflect a working- and middle-class community where incomes are steady but not high, and the tax load asks for careful budgeting rather than absorbing easily.
