ZIP Code 17030

With per-capita income at $35,580, households in ZIP code 17030 near Harrisburg earn less than the statewide average, so housing costs take on real weight. A median home value of $225,000 carries a county property tax rate of 1.35%, which works out to roughly $3,038 a year for a home at that price—a recurring obligation that competes directly with everyday spending. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and daily expenses chip away at earnings further. Buyers here may find that stretching to a mid-priced home leaves little slack in the monthly budget.
