Halfway House, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Halfway House CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,591 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #401 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 38.2 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 Halfway House CDP earn a median of $118,878 a year, 51.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 67% 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Halfway House CDP is valued at $294,300, 3% below the national figure and 52% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,277 a month, 61.9% above the national figure, or roughly $27,324 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84% 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. 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.
