Sharpsville borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sharpsville borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,219 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #339 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Sharpsville borough earn a median of $50,363 a year, 35.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% 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.

A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 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. 62.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
