East Rochester, PA population, income and ZIP codes

East Rochester borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 583 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1275 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 43.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 East Rochester borough earn a median of $42,569 a year, 45.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below 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 13.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Rochester borough is valued at $112,100, 63.1% below the national figure and 42% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $818 a month, 41.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,816 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.1% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 41.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
