Mohnton borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mohnton borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,924 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #483 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 37.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Mohnton borough earn a median of $72,198 a year, 8.1% 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. 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 11.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mohnton borough is valued at $221,200, 27.1% below the national figure and 14% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $911 a month, 35.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,932 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
