Lancaster, PA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Households in ZIP code 17563, near Lancaster, earn a median of $94,167, placing the area in middle- to upper-middle-income territory rather than among Pennsylvania's wealthiest communities. Per-capita income sits at $35,384, and median home values reach $318,300. That property value carries a county-level effective tax rate of 1.32%, so owners pay a meaningful share of home worth each year in property taxes. Sales tax across the ZIP totals 6.00%, applied to everyday purchases. Combined, these figures describe a solidly middle-class pocket where incomes are comfortable but the tax load, particularly on property, remains a real cost of ownership.
