West Mayfield borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
West Mayfield borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,326 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #851 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 39.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 West Mayfield borough earn a median of $51,688 a year, 34.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in West Mayfield borough is valued at $141,600, 53.3% below the national figure and 27% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $941 a month, 33.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,292 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.8% 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.
