Hollidaysburg borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hollidaysburg borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 5,581 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #237 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 47.1 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 Hollidaysburg borough earn a median of $62,319 a year, 20.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below 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 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hollidaysburg borough is valued at $190,500, 37.2% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,082 a month, 23% below the national figure, or roughly $12,984 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.8% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
