New Holland borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
New Holland borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 5,743 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #231 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 40.1 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 New Holland borough earn a median of $57,719 a year, 26.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in New Holland borough is valued at $225,500, 25.7% below the national figure and 17% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,219 a month, 13.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.3% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.2% 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.
