ZIP code 19021

ZIP 19021 is a mid-size town in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with 9,713 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #431 of 1,833 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 42 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 19021 earn a median of $59,935 a year, 23.7% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 14.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 19021 is valued at $264,900, 12.7% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,303 a month, 7.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,636 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.1% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 67.6% 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.

ZIP 19021 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 19021 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 19021 reports a median household income of $59,935, 47% below the $112,038 county median, and 14% below the $70,000 typical PA ZIP.

Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,303 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 19021 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 19021 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.
