Dorneyville, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Dorneyville CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 5,082 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #266 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 45.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Dorneyville CDP earn a median of $126,306 a year, 60.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 78% 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dorneyville CDP is valued at $379,800, 25.2% above the national figure and 97% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,093 a month, 48.9% above the national figure, or roughly $25,116 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.2% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
