Salix, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Salix CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,339 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #846 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Salix CDP earn a median of $64,333 a year, 18.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Salix CDP is valued at $145,100, 52.2% below the national figure and 25% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, 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. 69.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Salix 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.
