ZIP 17760 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 17760 is a very small community in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, with 461 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1356 of 1,833 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 47.4 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 17760 earn a median of $63,125 a year, 19.6% below the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 17760 is valued at $111,700, 63.2% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $867 a month, 38.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,404 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 1.8×, 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. 90.2% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 461 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 17760 against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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 17760 in context

How 17760 sits inside Clinton County and Pennsylvania.

ZIP 17760 is tabulated inside Clinton County, Pennsylvania, one of 13 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,833 across Pennsylvania. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. 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 17760 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 17760 reports a median household income of $63,125, 7% above the $59,125 county median, and 10% below the $70,000 typical PA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $111,700, 30% below the county figure and 40% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $867 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 17760 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 17760 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.
