Nazareth borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Nazareth borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 6,032 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #208 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 44.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Nazareth borough earn a median of $57,551 a year, 26.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below 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 15.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nazareth borough is valued at $236,900, 21.9% below the national figure and 23% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,186 a month, 15.6% below the national figure, or roughly $14,232 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.7% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 41.6% 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.
