Uniontown city, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Uniontown city is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 9,819 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #90 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 42.5 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 Uniontown city earn a median of $35,451 a year, 54.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 50% below 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 26% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Uniontown city is valued at $87,600, 71.1% below the national figure and 55% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $757 a month, 46.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,084 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.6% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.8% 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.
