St. Benedict, PA population, income and housing data

St. Benedict CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 497 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1346 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 46.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 St. Benedict CDP earn a median of $63,828 a year, 18.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 19.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in St. Benedict CDP is valued at $79,300, 73.9% below the national figure and 59% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.2×, 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. 90.9% 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. 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.

With 497 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare St. Benedict CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for St. Benedict 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.
