Hatboro borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hatboro borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 8,219 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #134 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 36.3 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 Hatboro borough earn a median of $108,927 a year, 38.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 53% 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. Poverty reaches 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 56.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
