ZIP Code 15142

In ZIP 15142, near Pittsburgh, households earn a median of $119,667, while per-capita income reaches $105,853 — figures well above statewide norms. A median home value of $582,200 carries a 1.52% county property tax rate, which equates to roughly $8,850 annually before any exemptions. Combined with a 7.00% sales tax on purchases, housing and everyday spending absorb a meaningful share of earnings, though the high income base cushions the impact. Buyers here should weigh the property tax bill against take-home pay, since it consumes a noticeable portion of even six-figure salaries.
