Robertsdale CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Robertsdale CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 227 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1674 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 41.5 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 Robertsdale CDP earn a median of $39,583 a year, 49.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% below 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Robertsdale CDP is valued at $80,000, 73.6% below the national figure and 59% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $850 a month, 39.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2×, 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. 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.
