ZIP code 16563

ZIP 16563 is a small town in Erie County, Pennsylvania, with 1,561 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1032 of 1,833 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 19.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 16563 earn a median of not published a year. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches an unpublished share of residents here.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 16563 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The homeownership rate is not published. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 19.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent, poverty rate for ZIP 16563 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.

ZIP 16563 is tabulated inside Erie County, Pennsylvania, one of 33 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 16563 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 16563 reports a median household income of not published. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of not published. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 16563 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 16563 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.
