Buffington, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Buffington CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 113 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1868 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 3.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Buffington CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 100% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Buffington CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 3.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 113 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Buffington CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Buffington 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.
