Millvale borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Millvale borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,333 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #430 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 40.1 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 Millvale borough earn a median of $69,936 a year, 11% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 16.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Millvale borough is valued at $109,400, 63.9% below the national figure and 43% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $910 a month, 35.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,920 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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 1.6×, 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. 42.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
