Gordonville, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Gordonville CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 556 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1296 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 38.9 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 Gordonville CDP earn a median of $40,179 a year, 48.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gordonville CDP is valued at $323,800, 6.7% above the national figure and 68% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $915 a month, 34.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,980 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.3% 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 8.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 69.9% 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.

Home values sit at 8.1× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. With 556 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Gordonville CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
