ZIP Code 17243

With a median household income of $42,381 and per-capita income of $26,774, ZIP code 17243 sits in working-class territory, anchored by Huntingdon. Homes here carry a median value of $155,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.94% means an owner pays roughly $1,460 annually on that median home. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture stays fairly contained against these earnings. Incomes below state and national medians shape the outlook more than housing costs do, since property taxes here track a lower assessed base.
