Shippensburg University, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Shippensburg University CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,944 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #675 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 19.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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.

Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest.

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 19.7 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld household income, home value for Shippensburg University CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
