ZIP Code 19457

In ZIP code 19457, near West Chester, per-capita income stands at $79,511, a figure that shapes how housing costs play out locally. The county-level effective property tax rate is 1.30%, so a home's assessed value drives the annual bill directly — a $400,000 house would owe roughly $5,200. Because earnings here are fairly strong, that levy consumes a smaller slice of household income than in many other places. Sales tax adds 6.00% on purchases, a separate cost that doesn't touch property ownership but still affects the overall cost of living in and around West Chester.
