What these numbers say together
Washingtonville, PA (ZIP 17884) sits in Montour County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $39,239. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $84,429 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $84,031 per worker — about 28% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 17 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972. Only 4.4% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Northumberland County, PA (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). 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 $46,250, fair market rent of $1,200 for a two-bedroom, and a 47.0% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
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.
