Temple CDP, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Temple CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 2,335 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #599 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 32.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Temple CDP earn a median of $71,773 a year, 8.6% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Temple CDP is valued at $161,400, 46.8% below the national figure and 16% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,261 a month, 10.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,132 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.1% 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 2.2×, 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. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
