Sewickley borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sewickley borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,850 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #381 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 38.9 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 Sewickley borough earn a median of $94,828 a year, 20.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 33% 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sewickley borough is valued at $449,700, 48.2% above the national figure and 133% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $961 a month, 31.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,532 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.2% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.4% 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.

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.
