Summerhill, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Summerhill borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 528 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1317 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 40.2 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 Summerhill borough earn a median of $71,304 a year, 9.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Summerhill borough is valued at $121,100, 60.1% below the national figure and 37% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $832 a month, 40.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,984 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 1.7×, 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. 82.4% 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.
