Lanesboro, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Lanesboro borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 628 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1234 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 35.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Lanesboro borough earn a median of $33,194 a year, 57.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 53% 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lanesboro borough is valued at $113,500, 62.6% below the national figure and 41% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $950 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 34.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 53.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Lanesboro borough is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 34.3% of median income while homes cost only 3.4× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 628 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lanesboro borough against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
