Blue Knob CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Blue Knob CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 30 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1975 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 1% of them. The median age here is 66.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Blue Knob CDP earn a median of $65,556 a year, 16.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Blue Knob CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. 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.
A median age of 66.7 puts Blue Knob CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 30 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Blue Knob CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Blue Knob 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.
