ZIP Code 17506

In ZIP 17506, near Lancaster, households earn an average of $35,194 per person, while homes are valued at $295,700. That gap matters: a mortgage on a home at that price, paired with the county's 1.32% effective property tax rate, would claim a meaningful share of a single earner's annual income. Sales taxes add 6.00% to most purchases, trimming day-to-day spending power further. Buyers here should weigh how a roughly $3,900 annual property tax bill fits alongside other costs, since the income level leaves limited slack once housing and taxes are covered.
