Villanova CDP, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Villanova CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 8,431 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #125 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 20.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Villanova CDP earn a median of $250,001 a year, 218.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 252% above 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 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Villanova CDP is valued at $945,600, 211.7% above the national figure and 389% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 98.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 20.1 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
The Census withheld gross rent for Villanova CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
