Lenhartsville borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lenhartsville borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 178 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1754 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 38 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 Lenhartsville borough earn a median of $78,125 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above 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 14.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lenhartsville borough is valued at $193,800, 36.1% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $986 a month, 29.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,832 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
