North Wales, PA population, income and ZIP codes

North Wales borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,421 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #420 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 36.2 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 North Wales borough earn a median of $115,833 a year, 47.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 63% 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in North Wales borough is valued at $385,400, 27% above the national figure and 99% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,417 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $17,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.8% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
