Pughtown CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pughtown CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,047 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #968 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 42.4 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 Pughtown CDP earn a median of $160,714 a year, 104.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 126% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 1.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pughtown CDP is valued at $422,000, 39.1% above the national figure and 118% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 94.6% 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 Pughtown 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.
