Liberty (Allegheny Co.), PA population, income and ZIP codes

Liberty borough (Allegheny County) is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,302 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #608 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 48.1 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 Liberty borough (Allegheny County) earn a median of $76,607 a year, 2.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Liberty borough (Allegheny County) is valued at $106,800, 64.8% below the national figure and 45% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $785 a month, 44.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,420 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.3% 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 1.4×, 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. 80.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

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.
