ZIP Code 19143

In Philadelphia’s 19143 ZIP code, households earn a median of $43,244, with per-capita income at $32,628 — figures that place the area firmly in working-class territory. Homes here carry a median value of $177,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.82% means annual property taxes stay comparatively contained. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax, and the overall picture is one of steady but stretched budgets: incomes below the citywide norm, housing costs that remain within reach, and a tax structure weighted toward consumption rather than ownership.
