New Oxford borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
New Oxford borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,777 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #706 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 New Oxford borough earn a median of $58,056 a year, 26.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in New Oxford borough is valued at $203,100, 33.1% below the national figure and 5% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,010 a month, 28.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,120 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 52.4% 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.
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.
