ZIP 15484 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 15484 is a very small community in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, with 870 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1196 of 1,833 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 39.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in ZIP 15484 earn a median of $96,393 a year, 22.7% above the national figure of $78,538. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 15484 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 96.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
With 870 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 15484 against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for ZIP 15484 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
Reading ZIP 15484 in context

Pennsylvania charges 6% statewide, and local governments overlapping 15484 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.
Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 15484 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
