Schwenksville borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Schwenksville borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,383 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #830 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 39.4 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 Schwenksville borough earn a median of $70,833 a year, 9.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Schwenksville borough is valued at $237,000, 21.9% below the national figure and 23% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,121 a month, 20.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,452 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64% 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.
