Households in ZIP code 18246, near Wilkes Barre, report a median income of $112,250, while per-capita income sits at $40,676. That gap hints at larger households with multiple earners rather than high pay for every individual. A median home value of $167,000, taxed at the county's 1.45% effective rate, works out to roughly $2,400 annually in property taxes. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and housing plus consumption costs take a steady share of earnings, though the income level leaves most families covering those obligations without strain.
