Kenmar CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Kenmar CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,937 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #278 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 50.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Kenmar CDP earn a median of $57,111 a year, 27.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Kenmar CDP is valued at $228,500, 24.7% below the national figure and 18% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $850 a month, 39.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.9% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 67.7% 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.
A median age of 50.6 puts Kenmar CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
