Buckingham by the numbers

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2019–2023 American Community Survey 5-year estimates, and the 2023 ZCTA Gazetteer. ZIP Code Tabulation Areas approximate postal ZIPs and don’t follow municipal boundaries, so these describe the ZIP rather than the borough or township exactly. Only the land area is shown here. This ZIP is small enough that the Census counts of people, households and homes on oil all carry margins of error close to the estimates themselves, so none of them is a number we’d ask you to rely on. The land area is measured rather than surveyed, so it stands.
Buying heating oil in Buckingham
Fifty-three percent of Buckingham heats with oil because for much of the township there is nothing else — no main, no alternative, and large old houses that take a lot of fuel. Small numbers of big fills spread over open country is the classic pattern for a customer paying whatever the one company they have always used decides. It is in the Upper Bucks zone, and the offset is shown before you order. Prices move daily with the wholesale rack, which is why the number above is today’s and not last week’s. Local dealers compete on this page, so the lowest price is always at the top — we don’t sell placement above a better price.
How much oil do you need in Buckingham?
Order a dollar amount, a number of gallons, or ask for a fill — whichever way you actually think about it. Tell us your tank size and what the gauge reads and we’ll warn you before you pay if the tank won’t take it all. You’re charged only for the gallons that actually go in, and if it takes less, your price per gallon doesn’t go up.
Heating oil in Buckingham — common questions
Is Buckingham a borough?+
No — Buckingham is a village and a township, not an incorporated borough, and 18912 is the ZIP for the village end of it.
Do most Buckingham homes really use oil?+
Yes. Oil is the common arrangement in the village rather than a minority one — out here it is usually not a choice between fuels. The Census sample for 18912 is too small for us to put a share on it.
Why is the ZIP so small?+
Buckingham Township is large but 18912 covers only the village core; the rest of the township posts to Doylestown, Furlong, Holicong or Lahaska. We deliver to all of those too.
Will a fuel truck come down a long gravel drive?+
Usually. Say so when you order if the drive is steep, soft after rain or has a tight entrance — that decides how the driver approaches it, and it is better known in advance.
What size tank do the big houses have?+
Often a 330, and in the oldest stone houses sometimes two tanks linked together because heating was added long after the house was built. We size the fill from the gauge reading.
Which pricing zone is Buckingham in?+
Upper Bucks. Distance is charged as a per-gallon zone offset, and what you see quoted is what you pay.
