Progress CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Progress CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 11,143 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #73 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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 Progress CDP earn a median of $75,362 a year, 4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Progress CDP is valued at $192,000, 36.7% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,170 a month, 16.8% below the national figure, or roughly $14,040 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
