Morgantown CDP, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Morgantown CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,340 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #845 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 42.1 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 Morgantown CDP earn a median of $76,673 a year, 2.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Morgantown CDP is valued at $243,100, 19.9% below the national figure and 26% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,284 a month, 8.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,408 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

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.
