Industry borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Industry borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,657 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #737 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 44 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Industry borough earn a median of $71,742 a year, 8.7% 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. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Industry borough is valued at $184,400, 39.2% below the national figure and 5% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,196 a month, 14.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,352 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.9% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
