Souderton borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Souderton borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 7,215 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #161 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 37.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Souderton borough earn a median of $85,625 a year, 9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Souderton borough is valued at $298,300, 1.7% below the national figure and 54% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,257 a month, 10.6% below the national figure, or roughly $15,084 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
