Sand Hill, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Sand Hill CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,288 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #612 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 54.7 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 Sand Hill CDP earn a median of $86,696 a year, 10.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above 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 0.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sand Hill CDP is valued at $204,300, 32.7% below the national figure and 6% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,546 a month, 10% above the national figure, or roughly $18,552 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 2.4×, 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. 91.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 54.7 puts Sand Hill CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

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.
