Centerville (Washington Co.), PA population, income and ZIP codes

Centerville borough (Washington County) is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,240 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #441 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 50 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Centerville borough (Washington County) earn a median of $78,446 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Centerville borough (Washington County) is valued at $123,200, 59.4% below the national figure and 36% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $907 a month, 35.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,884 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.9% 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 1.6×, 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. 86% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 50 puts Centerville borough (Washington County) well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
