ZIP Code 19079

ZIP code 19079, in the Philadelphia area, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. A median household income of $67,454 and per-capita income of $26,965 place it below the region's more prosperous suburbs, while a median home value of $167,800 keeps entry into homeownership within reach. That lower valuation pairs with a county-level effective property tax rate of 1.84%, so the annual bill stays moderate even though the rate itself isn't especially low. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load leans on earned income and everyday spending more than on high property values.
