ZIP Code 17933

In ZIP code 17933, near Pottsville, per-capita income sits at $29,198, so housing costs weigh heavily against what people bring in. The county-level effective property tax rate of 1.40% means a home assessed at $100,000 would carry roughly $1,400 in annual property taxes — a real sum against that income level. Sales tax adds 6.00% to everyday purchases, trimming what's left for mortgage or rent. Buyers here should weigh both the purchase price and the ongoing tax bill, since a lower-priced home doesn't automatically mean lower yearly costs when the rate stays fixed.
