Falls Creek borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Falls Creek borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,084 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #952 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 40.1 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 Falls Creek borough earn a median of $47,589 a year, 39.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% 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 17.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Falls Creek borough is valued at $104,700, 65.5% below the national figure and 46% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $993 a month, 29.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,916 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% 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. 68.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
