St. Davids, PA population, income and ZIP codes

St. Davids CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,950 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #366 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 St. Davids CDP earn a median of $159,620 a year, 103.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 124% 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 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in St. Davids CDP is valued at $986,300, 225.1% above the national figure and 411% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,951 a month, 38.8% above the national figure, or roughly $23,412 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 6.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 63.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Home values sit at 6.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
