Tyrone borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Tyrone borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 5,421 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #247 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 40.3 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 Tyrone borough earn a median of $55,568 a year, 29.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tyrone borough is valued at $122,000, 59.8% below the national figure and 37% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $788 a month, 44% below the national figure, or roughly $9,456 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 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. 56.9% 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.
