Baldwin borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Baldwin borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 21,159 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #31 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 42.1 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 Baldwin borough earn a median of $77,882 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Baldwin borough is valued at $191,700, 36.8% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,042 a month, 25.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
