Paoli CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Paoli CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 6,124 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #201 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 42.4 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 Paoli CDP earn a median of $117,094 a year, 49.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 65% 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Paoli CDP is valued at $470,000, 54.9% above the national figure and 143% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,852 a month, 31.7% above the national figure, or roughly $22,224 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 76.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
