Avondale borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Avondale borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,286 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #868 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 30.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Avondale borough earn a median of $80,000 a year, 1.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Avondale borough is valued at $294,800, 2.8% below the national figure and 53% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,458 a month, 3.7% above the national figure, or roughly $17,496 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.9% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
