Bridgeport, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Bridgeport borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 5,085 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #265 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 31.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Bridgeport borough earn a median of $79,247 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 16.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bridgeport borough is valued at $303,800, essentially level with the national figure and 57% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,468 a month, 4.4% above the national figure, or roughly $17,616 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 45.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
