A typical home is worth about $166,900.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Columbia County is $1,136 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Espy. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
Pennsylvania's prices sit at 97.6 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.
Pennsylvania taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 6.3% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Espy's exact store tax.
Some places in Pennsylvania add a local wage tax. In 2023 the state average was about 0.99% of income. That is not a Espy bill.
