Elrama, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Elrama CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 268 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1622 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Elrama CDP earn a median of $32,278 a year, 58.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 55% 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 45.1% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Elrama CDP is valued at $92,300, 69.6% below the national figure and 52% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 31.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 268 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Elrama CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Elrama 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.
