Ambler borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ambler borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 6,822 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #178 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 36.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Ambler borough earn a median of $80,795 a year, 2.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ambler borough is valued at $360,200, 18.7% above the national figure and 86% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,406 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,872 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 52.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
