Chinchilla, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Chinchilla CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,322 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #601 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Chinchilla CDP earn a median of $95,536 a year, 21.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 34% 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 1.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Chinchilla CDP is valued at $241,800, 20.3% below the national figure and 25% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,768 a month, 25.7% above the national figure, or roughly $21,216 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.6% 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.

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.
