Burnside, PA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 16843, centered on Burnside, sits in working-class territory. A median household income of $43,365 and per-capita income of $16,594 trail state and national averages by a wide margin, while the median home value of $50,300 is low enough that buying here stays within reach of earners who would be priced out elsewhere. Property taxes run at an effective 1.09% county rate, a meaningful cost on a home at that price but not an outsized one. Sales tax comes to 6.00%. Together these figures describe a community where wages are limited and the tax load, though not heavy in dollar terms, takes a real share of what people earn.
