Southpointe CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Southpointe CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,277 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #433 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 36.9 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 Southpointe CDP earn a median of $112,722 a year, 43.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 58% above 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. Poverty reaches 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Southpointe CDP is valued at $546,700, 80.2% above the national figure and 183% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,576 a month, 12.1% above the national figure, or roughly $18,912 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 46.1% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
