ZIP Code 17087

With a median household income of $93,150 and per-capita income of $39,466, ZIP code 17087 sits in middle-income territory near Reading. Homes here have a median value of $225,200, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.65% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax rate, and the overall tax picture carries real weight against local earnings. This isn't an affluent enclave, nor a struggling one — it's a solidly middle-class area where incomes and housing costs stay broadly aligned, though the property tax rate keeps ownership expenses noticeable.
