Paint borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Paint borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,031 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #979 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 48.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Paint borough earn a median of $42,679 a year, 45.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below 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 21.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Paint borough is valued at $94,900, 68.7% below the national figure and 51% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $745 a month, 47% below the national figure, or roughly $8,940 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 2.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 74% 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.

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.
