Burlington borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Burlington borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 151 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1801 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 38.6 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 Burlington borough earn a median of $43,250 a year, 44.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Burlington borough is valued at $171,900, 43.3% below the national figure and 11% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $913 a month, 35.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,956 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.3% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 76.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
