Bowmansville CDP, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bowmansville CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,968 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #476 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Bowmansville CDP earn a median of $105,079 a year, 33.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 48% 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 2.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bowmansville CDP is valued at $318,200, 4.9% above the national figure and 65% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,156 a month, 17.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,872 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.2% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
