Lorane CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lorane CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,633 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #301 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 43.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Lorane CDP earn a median of $86,064 a year, 9.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 6.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lorane CDP is valued at $236,100, 22.2% below the national figure and 22% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,776 a month, 26.3% above the national figure, or roughly $21,312 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
