ZIP Code 15695

ZIP code 15695, centered on Monessen, sits in working-class territory. A median household income of $44,167 and per-capita income of $30,557 fall below statewide norms, while a median home value of $158,300 keeps entry costs within reach for buyers earning those wages. Property taxes run at a county-level effective rate of 1.23%, so a home assessed near that median would carry roughly $1,950 in annual levy. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall load leans on everyday spending as much as on ownership.
