ZIP Code 15721

In ZIP code 15721, near Burnside, homes carry a median value of $64,200, and the county's 1.09% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $700 a year on a home at that price. With median household income at $41,875 and per-capita income at $29,217, that tax bill takes a smaller share of earnings than in many places, since the low home values keep assessments down. Sales tax adds 6.00% on purchases. Ownership here hinges less on price than on income stability, as even a low tax bill can strain a household earning under $42,000.
