ZIP Code 15779

ZIP code 15779, near Monessen, shows a split economic picture. A median household income of $92,250 points to middle-income earning power, yet per-capita income of just $14,539 signals smaller households or uneven distribution across the area. Homes here carry a median value of $155,500, and the county's 1.23% effective property tax rate applies against that figure. Sales tax runs 6.00% on purchases. The gap between household and per-person income makes this ZIP hard to classify neatly; it leans middle-income by household earnings while showing the working-class texture that defines much of the Monessen area.
