Zion, Pennsylvania has about 1,981 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $344,700.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Centre County is $1,537 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Zion. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

In the State College, PA metro area, prices sit at 96.8 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.

Pennsylvania taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 6.3% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Zion'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 Zion bill.

In July 2026, a typical Pennsylvania home paid 21.72¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Zion's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Pennsylvania in the table we use.
