ZIP Code 17543

ZIP code 17543, centered on Lancaster, sits in the middle-to-upper-income range, with a median household income of $97,435 and per-capita income of $55,588. Homes here carry a median value of $348,400, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.32% means property taxes take a noticeable share of ownership costs. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases carry a steady levy as well. Households earning near the median can cover these obligations, though the property tax tied to a home at this value keeps carrying costs meaningful alongside the area's generally comfortable earnings.
