Silverdale borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Silverdale borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,068 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #960 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 41.6 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 Silverdale borough earn a median of $102,500 a year, 30.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 44% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. 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. Poverty reaches 0.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silverdale borough is valued at $310,200, 2.2% above the national figure and 61% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,558 a month, 10.8% above the national figure, or roughly $18,696 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
