ZIP Code 15901

In ZIP code 15901, which takes in part of Johnstown, homes carry a median value of just $20,800, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.23% works out to a comparatively light annual bill on such a low assessment. That balance matters because earnings here are limited: median household income sits at $27,121, while per-capita income reaches $25,217. A 6.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases in the area. Low home values keep property taxes from consuming a large share of local paychecks, though the same low values signal weak housing demand across this Johnstown ZIP.
