ZIP 15725 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 15725 is a small town in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, with 1,208 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1101 of 1,833 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 51 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 15725 earn a median of $86,167 a year, 9.7% above the national figure of $78,538. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 15725 is valued at $159,700, 47.4% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $543 a month, 61.4% below the national figure, or roughly $6,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 7.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 76.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 51 puts ZIP 15725 well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.

Reading ZIP 15725 in context

How 15725 sits inside Indiana County and Pennsylvania.

ZIP 15725 is tabulated inside Indiana County, Pennsylvania, one of 46 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,833 across Pennsylvania. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 15725 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 15725 reports a median household income of $86,167, 49% above the $57,847 county median, and 23% above the $70,000 typical PA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $159,700, 52% above the county figure and 15% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $543 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Pennsylvania charges 6% statewide, and local governments overlapping 15725 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 15725 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.
