Mount Wolf, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Mount Wolf borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,021 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #982 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 45.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Mount Wolf borough earn a median of $83,214 a year, 6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Wolf borough is valued at $192,600, 36.5% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,536 a month, 9.2% above the national figure, or roughly $18,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% 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 2.3×, 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. 70% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
