Norwood borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Norwood borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 5,915 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #219 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 40.8 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 Norwood borough earn a median of $89,135 a year, 13.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 25% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Norwood borough is valued at $227,500, 25% below the national figure and 18% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,247 a month, 11.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.5% 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.
