Dallastown borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Dallastown borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,171 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #345 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 38.7 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 Dallastown borough earn a median of $59,423 a year, 24.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Dallastown borough is valued at $171,600, 43.4% below the national figure and 11% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,130 a month, 19.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,560 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 43.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
