PA's flat state tax plus Media's own, comparatively low combined local EIT

Pennsylvania's flat 3.07% state income tax applies with no exemption threshold. Media Borough's own combined 1% Earned Income Tax, collected via Keystone Collections Group, yields a combined approximate marginal rate of 4.07%.

A comparatively moderate property tax rate

Media's own effective property tax rate ran approximately 2.03% per one 2026 aggregator -- below the Pennsylvania statewide median, a real, favorable distinction relative to several other Pennsylvania markets in this project's own coverage.

A real, statewide retirement-income advantage

Pennsylvania fully exempts Social Security and, at normal retirement age, pension/401(k)/IRA income from state tax -- directly relevant given Media's own genuinely elevated senior population share.
