ZIP Code 15655

With a median household income of $31,635 and per-capita income of $24,711, ZIP code 15655 sits firmly in working-class territory around Monessen. Homes here carry a median value of $148,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.23% applies against that figure, so owners pay a meaningful share of their home's worth each year. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load takes a noticeable bite out of paychecks that are already below many statewide averages. This is a place where housing costs and taxes weigh on households earning far less than the national median.
