Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Shinglehouse, PA (ZIP 16748) sits in Potter County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,770. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $64,583, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,050 per worker, roughly 22% below the US average. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was tropical storm-related (TROPICAL STORM DEBBY, 2024). Annual average temperature is just 44.1°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Pennsylvania levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.07%); a household at the local median AGI of $64,583 would pay roughly $1,190/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 131 residents (66 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $53,565, fair market rent of $970 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $124,186, down 0.3% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
Shinglehouse, PA (ZIP 16748) sits in Potter County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,770.

BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,050 per worker, roughly 22% below the US average. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was tropical storm-related (TROPICAL STORM DEBBY, 2024).

Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
