Eldorado CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Eldorado CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 534 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1313 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 67.9 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 Eldorado CDP earn a median of $79,261 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Eldorado CDP is valued at $175,700, 42.1% below the national figure and 9% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 91.3% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 67.9 puts Eldorado CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 534 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Eldorado CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Eldorado CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
