ZIP Code 18103

ZIP code 18103, covering part of Allentown, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $72,895 and per-capita income of $40,738. Homes here carry a median value of $272,700, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.55% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load reflects a working- and middle-class community rather than an affluent one. Incomes comfortably exceed poverty but fall short of wealthier suburbs, so taxes here take a real bite out of household budgets.
