Moosic borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Moosic borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 5,954 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #216 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 38.7 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 Moosic borough earn a median of $74,792 a year, 4.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% above 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 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Moosic borough is valued at $235,500, 22.4% below the national figure and 22% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,268 a month, 9.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,216 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.3% 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.
