ZIP Code 17951

Households in ZIP code 17951, near Pottsville, earn a median of $153,559, placing the area well above middle-income territory and firmly in affluent range, with per-capita income at $63,420. Home values, however, sit at $161,200 — far below what such earnings might buy elsewhere — while the county-level property tax rate of 1.40% applies to that assessed value. A combined sales tax of 6.00% adds to the cost of everyday purchases. The result is a pocket of high earning power paired with low housing costs, where property taxes stay contained because valuations themselves remain low.
