Wyalusing, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Wyalusing borough is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 651 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1217 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 39.6 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 Wyalusing borough earn a median of $44,091 a year, 43.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 12.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wyalusing borough is valued at $133,300, 56.1% below the national figure and 31% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $866 a month, 38.4% below the national figure, or roughly $10,392 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.6% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 48.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
