Sheakleyville, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Sheakleyville borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 120 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1857 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 33.3 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 Sheakleyville borough earn a median of $61,250 a year, 22% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% 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 17.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sheakleyville borough is valued at $90,700, 70.1% below the national figure and 53% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $817 a month, 41.9% below the national figure, or roughly $9,804 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 1.5×, 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% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
