Riegelsville, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Riegelsville borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 823 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1081 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 48.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Riegelsville borough earn a median of $92,917 a year, 18.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Riegelsville borough is valued at $317,500, 4.6% above the national figure and 64% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,231 a month, 12.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% 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. 77.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
