Green Tree borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Green Tree borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,856 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #286 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 45.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Green Tree borough earn a median of $87,828 a year, 11.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 9.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Green Tree borough is valued at $240,800, 20.6% below the national figure and 25% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,685 a month, 19.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.3% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
