ZIP Code 19072

Households in ZIP code 19072, near Norristown, report a median income of $172,550, with per-capita income at $111,872. Median home values sit at $819,700, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.34% translates into a substantial annual bill at that price point. Add Pennsylvania's 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall cost picture reflects a high-income area where housing carries the heaviest weight. The property tax alone, applied to a home near the median value, runs well above what most American homeowners pay, even though the rate itself is unremarkable.
