Willow Grove, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Willow Grove CDP is a mid-size town in Pennsylvania, with 13,919 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 37.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Willow Grove CDP earn a median of $98,402 a year, 25.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% above the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Willow Grove CDP is valued at $326,300, 7.5% above the national figure and 69% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,677 a month, 19.3% above the national figure, or roughly $20,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
