What ZIP 16242 actually tells you, and what it doesn't
The 16242 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 4,258 and a median household income of $53,523. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.
A home at the median costs roughly 2.3 years of median household income, a little below the midpoint of the 29,491 tabulation areas reporting both. Buying is within reach of a typical local income here in a way it is not across most of the country.
At the median, rent consumes roughly 15% of a median household's income -- below the midpoint for reporting areas, and well under the 30% line commonly used to define a cost burden.
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.
