ZIP Code 18046

With per-capita income at $58,153, households in ZIP code 18046 sit comfortably above many parts of the Lehigh Valley, and that earnings level shapes how taxes land on the budget. Property taxes run 1.55% at the county level, so a home's assessed value drives a meaningful annual bill, while the combined sales tax of 6.00% adds a bit to everyday purchases. Living near Allentown means access to its employers and services, which helps support those income levels. The balance between solid earnings and these rates leaves room for saving, though homeowners should still plan for the property tax line each year.
