Dupont borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dupont borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,545 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #551 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 46.1 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 Dupont borough earn a median of $78,036 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. 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 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dupont borough is valued at $142,100, 53.2% below the national figure and 26% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $970 a month, 31% below the national figure, or roughly $11,640 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% 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 1.8×, 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. 66.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
