Belfast, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Belfast CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,239 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #886 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 44.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Belfast CDP earn a median of $73,036 a year, 7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Belfast CDP is valued at $264,400, 12.9% below the national figure and 37% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld gross rent for Belfast 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.
