Youngsville borough, PA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Youngsville borough is a small town in Pennsylvania, with 1,669 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #731 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 43 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 Youngsville borough earn a median of $55,282 a year, 29.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% 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 11.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Youngsville borough is valued at $105,900, 65.1% below the national figure and 45% below the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $758 a month, 46.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,096 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 1.9×, 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. 72.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
