Reading, PA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Households in ZIP code 19539, near Reading, earn a median of $107,656, placing the area squarely in middle-to-upper-income territory rather than among Pennsylvania's wealthiest enclaves. Per-capita income reaches $52,516, and median home values sit at $266,700. That housing stock carries a 1.65% county property tax rate, so owners of a median-priced home face a meaningful annual bill. Sales tax across the ZIP totals 6.00%, applying to everyday purchases. Together these figures describe a comfortable but not affluent community, where steady earnings support homeownership while property and sales taxes claim a noticeable share of household budgets.
