The median home value of $101,800 is far lower than the state figure of $168,550 and the national figure of $173,750, so buying a home here costs much less than in most of the state.
The median property tax rate is 1.16%, lower than Pennsylvania's 1.3% but above the national rate of 0.74%. Because values are low, the dollar amount of tax owed is modest even though the rate exceeds the national level.
