Wormleysburg borough, PA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wormleysburg borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 3,058 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #466 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 35.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Wormleysburg borough earn a median of $86,940 a year, 10.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above 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 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wormleysburg borough is valued at $211,100, 30.4% below the national figure and 9% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,379 a month, 1.9% below the national figure, or roughly $16,548 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 47.4% 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.
