ZIP Code 15443

With a per-capita income of $37,740, ZIP code 15443 sits in working- to middle-income territory rather than among Pennsylvania's wealthier communities. That figure shapes how much of a stretch local taxes become. Property owners here face a county-level effective rate of 1.12%, a levy that takes a real bite out of household earnings at this income level. Adding to the cost of living is a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases. Belle Vernon anchors this area, and together these rates mean residents keep a smaller share of each paycheck than those in lower-tax parts of the state.
