Pleasant Hill, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Pleasant Hill CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,072 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #463 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 34.8 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 Pleasant Hill CDP earn a median of $59,427 a year, 24.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below 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 19% 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 Pleasant Hill CDP is valued at $169,800, 44% below the national figure and 12% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,107 a month, 21.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,284 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 60.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
