ZIP Code 16502

In ZIP code 16502, which covers part of Erie, households bring in a median of $38,566 a year, while per-capita income sits at $26,082. With a median home value of $93,000, property taxes at the county's 1.60% rate would run roughly $1,488 annually. That leaves many homeowners weighing housing costs against everyday spending, and the 6.00% combined sales tax adds to the price of purchases made locally. Day-to-day finances here call for careful planning, since earnings and home values both sit below many statewide figures, making each dollar of take-home pay stretch further across essentials.
