Rimersburg borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rimersburg borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,079 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #954 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Rimersburg borough earn a median of $57,250 a year, 27.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 18.6% 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 Rimersburg borough is valued at $85,000, 72% below the national figure and 56% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $669 a month, 52.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,028 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 1.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 60.4% 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.

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.
