ZIP Code 17554

In ZIP code 17554, near Lancaster, households bring in a median of $98,431 a year, or $44,346 per person. With homes valued at $301,500 and the county property tax rate at 1.32%, annual property taxes run about $3,980 — a real line item, but one that fits alongside a six-figure income without straining it. Sales tax across the area sits at 6.00%, so everyday purchases carry a predictable surcharge. Combined, these costs leave a workable margin for saving, travel, or paying down a mortgage, since housing and consumption taxes together absorb only a portion of what the average household earns.
