Canonsburg borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Canonsburg borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 9,682 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #93 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 36.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Canonsburg borough earn a median of $80,581 a year, 2.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 13% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Canonsburg borough is valued at $192,100, 36.7% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $964 a month, 31.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,568 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 59.5% 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.
