Leola CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Leola CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 8,107 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #141 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 35.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Leola CDP earn a median of $84,653 a year, 7.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Leola CDP is valued at $324,600, 7% above the national figure and 68% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,371 a month, 2.5% below the national figure, or roughly $16,452 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.6% 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.
