Arlington Heights CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Arlington Heights CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 6,844 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #176 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 43.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Arlington Heights CDP earn a median of $67,386 a year, 14.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% below 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 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Arlington Heights CDP is valued at $249,700, 17.7% below the national figure and 29% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,193 a month, 15.1% below the national figure, or roughly $14,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
