Perkasie borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Perkasie borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 9,176 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #105 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 36.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Perkasie borough earn a median of $99,474 a year, 26.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Perkasie borough is valued at $338,700, 11.6% above the national figure and 75% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,164 a month, 17.2% below the national figure, or roughly $13,968 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.6% 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.
