Mehoopany, PA population, income and housing data

Mehoopany CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 283 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1601 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 45.4 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 Mehoopany CDP earn a median of $45,625 a year, 41.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% below 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 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mehoopany CDP is valued at $114,000, 62.4% below the national figure and 41% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,077 a month, 23.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.3% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.3% 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.
