Lower Allen, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Lower Allen CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 7,582 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #152 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 38.6 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 Lower Allen CDP earn a median of $85,537 a year, 8.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 3.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lower Allen CDP is valued at $246,100, 18.9% below the national figure and 27% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,117 a month, 20.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,404 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
