West View, PA population, income and ZIP codes

West View borough is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 6,582 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #187 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 40.2 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 West View borough earn a median of $70,954 a year, 9.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in West View borough is valued at $209,800, 30.9% below the national figure and 9% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $963 a month, 31.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
