Eddystone borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Eddystone borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,212 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #623 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Eddystone borough earn a median of $53,665 a year, 31.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 17.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eddystone borough is valued at $117,500, 61.3% below the national figure and 39% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,312 a month, 6.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,744 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.3% 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 2.2×, 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. 58.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
