ZIP Code 19383

With a median household income of $23,514 and per-capita income of just $5,689, ZIP code 19383, near West Chester, sits well below the middle-income range — this is a working-class area by the numbers. That lower earning base meets a county property tax rate of 1.30%, which weighs more heavily on households here than it would on wealthier ones. The combined sales tax rate of 6.00% adds further cost to everyday purchases. Together, these rates mean a larger share of income goes toward taxes than in more affluent parts of the region.
