Plumsteadville CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Plumsteadville CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,948 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #481 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 42.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Plumsteadville CDP earn a median of $157,614 a year, 100.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 122% 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 0.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Plumsteadville CDP is valued at $555,300, 83% above the national figure and 187% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,100 a month, 49.4% above the national figure, or roughly $25,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.7% 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. 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.
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.
