ZIP Code 16159

ZIP code 16159, centered on New Castle, sits squarely in middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $69,391, while per-capita income reaches $34,052 — enough to keep pace with daily costs without reaching affluent levels. Homes carry a median value of $178,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.18% applies to that figure. Shoppers pay 6.00% in combined sales tax on purchases. Taken together, the tax load lands in familiar middle ground: neither especially heavy nor unusually light for a working- and middle-class Pennsylvania community.
