Forestville CDP (Schuylkill County), PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Forestville CDP (Schuylkill County) is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 471 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1379 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 41.5 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 Forestville CDP (Schuylkill County) earn a median of $112,746 a year, 43.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 59% above 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.

The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.6×, 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. 86.4% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
