ZIP 18929 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 18929 is a mid-size town in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with 9,736 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #429 of 1,833 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 39.7 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 ZIP 18929 earn a median of $174,606 a year, 122.3% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 18929 is valued at $605,100, 99.4% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,713 a month, 21.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.8% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 96% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
Reading ZIP 18929 in context
How 18929 sits inside Bucks County and Pennsylvania.
ZIP 18929 is tabulated inside Bucks County, Pennsylvania, one of 48 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,833 across Pennsylvania. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 18929 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.
Against its own county, 18929 reports a median household income of $174,606, 56% above the $112,038 county median, and 149% above the $70,000 typical PA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $605,100, 33% above the county figure and 223% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,713 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.
Pennsylvania charges 6% statewide, and local governments overlapping 18929 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.
Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 18929 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.

Affordability in this ZIP
Derived from the Census medians above — indicative, not an offer.
A rent burden above 30% is the federal threshold for cost-burdened households, and a price-to-income multiple above 4× is generally considered a stretched housing market. The mortgage figure is principal and interest only — taxes, insurance and HOA dues are extra.
