Hermitage city, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hermitage city is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 16,132 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #42 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 49.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Hermitage city earn a median of $72,464 a year, 7.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hermitage city is valued at $187,600, 38.2% below the national figure and 3% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $874 a month, 37.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,488 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.5% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.7% 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.
