Taylor borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Taylor borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 6,261 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #195 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Taylor borough earn a median of $60,446 a year, 23% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below 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 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Taylor borough is valued at $169,800, 44% below the national figure and 12% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,015 a month, 27.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
