Reading, PA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 19607, near Reading, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $81,346 and per-capita income of $40,035. Homes here carry a median value of $228,800, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.65% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load lands in a middle range for Pennsylvania — enough to matter in household budgets, but not out of step with what many working and middle-class families around Reading already absorb.
