ZIP 00717

What ZIP 00717 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 00717 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 15,029 and a median household income of $14,164. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

The median home costs around 7.8 times what a median household here earns in a year, placing 00717 in the most expensive quarter of reporting areas. Wherever the multiple runs this far ahead of local pay, ownership is largely closed to people earning the local median, and the rental figures below matter more than the sale price.

Rent absorbs roughly 35% of median household income, among the highest quarter of reporting areas. Because renter households usually earn below the area-wide median, the burden on actual renters runs higher than this ratio shows.

The median age of 44.9 sits above the midpoint of reporting areas, the pattern of a settled population where more residents are past child-rearing than entering it.

ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
