Reading, PA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Households in ZIP code 19555, near Reading, earn a median of $89,583, placing the area in middle-income territory rather than among Pennsylvania's wealthier suburbs. Per-capita income sits at $40,954, and homes carry a median value of $239,900. Property taxes are levied at 1.65% countywide, so a house at that median value generates roughly $3,958 in annual property tax. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load lands in a middle range—noticeable but consistent with what many working- and middle-income households across the Reading area already absorb.
