Conneaut Lakeshore, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Conneaut Lakeshore CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,866 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #684 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 56 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 Conneaut Lakeshore CDP earn a median of $64,667 a year, 17.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below 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 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Conneaut Lakeshore CDP is valued at $179,100, 41% below the national figure and 7% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $767 a month, 45.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,204 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.2% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 56 puts Conneaut Lakeshore CDP 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
