Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Pennsylvania

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Philadelphia suburban corridor in the southeast — particularly Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties — stands out with concentrated clusters of zip codes exceeding $125,000 in median household income, sharply contrasting with the deep purple pockets within Philadelphia proper where incomes drop below $25,000. Central and north-central Pennsylvania displays broadly moderate incomes in the $40,000–$60,000 range, with notably lower-income zip codes clustered around legacy industrial and college towns such as those near State College, Williamsport, and scattered Appalachian communities. The Pittsburgh metro area in the southwest mirrors Philadelphia's urban-suburban divide on a smaller scale, with affluent yellow-green suburbs ringing darker low-income zip codes in the urban core.
