Emigsville CDP, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Emigsville CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,942 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #368 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Emigsville CDP earn a median of $68,299 a year, 13% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 12% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Emigsville CDP is valued at $196,600, 35.2% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,372 a month, 2.4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,464 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.1% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
