Royersford, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Royersford borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,911 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #280 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Royersford borough earn a median of $67,083 a year, 14.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Royersford borough is valued at $265,500, 12.5% below the national figure and 37% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,518 a month, 8% above the national figure, or roughly $18,216 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.2% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 45.3% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
