Middletown CDP, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Middletown CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 7,620 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #150 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 49.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Middletown CDP earn a median of $97,040 a year, 23.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 36% 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 Middletown CDP is valued at $294,800, 2.8% below the national figure and 53% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,639 a month, 16.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.3% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.5% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
