Lawrenceville, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Lawrenceville borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 671 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1198 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 32.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Lawrenceville borough earn a median of $70,500 a year, 10.2% 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 17.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lawrenceville borough is valued at $125,000, 58.8% below the national figure and 35% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $927 a month, 34.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.8% 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 1.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 59.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
