ZIP Code 18102

In Allentown's 18102 ZIP code, households earn a median of $43,085, while per-capita income sits at $19,885 — a gap that signals many homes rely on more than one earner or on fixed incomes. A median home value of $163,400 carries a 1.55% county property tax rate, which works out to roughly $2,533 annually and can weigh heavily against that household income. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and spending choices tighten further. Budgets here stretch across housing, taxes, and daily expenses, with little slack between what comes in and what goes out.
