Acosta, PA population, income and housing data

Acosta CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 225 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1675 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 53.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Acosta CDP earn a median of not published a year. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Acosta CDP is valued at $107,700, 64.5% below the national figure and 44% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 53.5 puts Acosta CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 225 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Acosta CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Acosta CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
