ZIP Code 18078

Households in ZIP code 18078, near Allentown, bring in a median of $120,857 a year, with per-capita income at $64,076. That earnings level shapes how housing and taxes fit into a budget here. A median home value of $385,400 taxed at the county's 1.55% effective property tax rate works out to a meaningful annual bill, so owners should plan for it alongside their mortgage. Day-to-day purchases carry a 6.00% combined sales tax, which adds a little to most transactions. Higher earnings give households room to absorb both, though the property tax line deserves attention given the home values common in this area.
