Fullerton CDP, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fullerton CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 16,729 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #40 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 34.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Fullerton CDP earn a median of $63,357 a year, 19.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 15.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fullerton CDP is valued at $229,900, 24.2% below the national figure and 19% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,381 a month, 1.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,572 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.2% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
