Thorndale CDP, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Thorndale CDP is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 4,139 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #348 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 37 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 Thorndale CDP earn a median of $107,995 a year, 37.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 52% above 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 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Thorndale CDP is valued at $317,600, 4.7% above the national figure and 64% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,798 a month, 27.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.9% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
