Pen Mar, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Pen Mar CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,338 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #847 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 35.3 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 Pen Mar CDP earn a median of $117,010 a year, 49% 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 1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pen Mar CDP is valued at $264,100, 13% below the national figure and 37% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, 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. 96% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld gross rent for Pen Mar CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
