Telford borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Telford borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,814 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #287 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 40.5 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 Telford borough earn a median of $86,797 a year, 10.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Telford borough is valued at $302,200, essentially level with the national figure and 56% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,202 a month, 14.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,424 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
