ZIP code 17582

ZIP 17582 is a small town in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with 1,711 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #999 of 1,833 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 40.4 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 17582 earn a median of $104,659 a year, 33.3% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 17582 is valued at $288,500, 4.9% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.7% 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 17582 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 17582 is tabulated inside Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, one of 53 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 17582 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 17582 reports a median household income of $104,659, 21% above the $86,848 county median, and 50% above the $70,000 typical PA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $288,500, close to the county figure and 54% above the statewide ZIP median. 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 17582 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 17582 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.
