Blue Ridge Summit, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Blue Ridge Summit CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,016 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #984 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 42.4 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 Blue Ridge Summit CDP earn a median of $57,857 a year, 26.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 1.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blue Ridge Summit CDP is valued at $284,100, 6.4% below the national figure and 47% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $842 a month, 40.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,104 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 46.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
