What these numbers say together
Wilkes-Barre, PA (ZIP 18701) sits in Luzerne County within the Scranton--Wilkes-Barre metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $43,496. 23% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. FNCB Bank holds 73% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Pennsylvania levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.07%); a household at the local median AGI of $58,123 would pay roughly $1,071/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Lackawanna 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 $30,821, fair market rent of $1,080 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $178,345, up 10.3% 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.
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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,080/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 42% of median household income ($30,821, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (91% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 1 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
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.
