Cambria County, PA Property Records & Statistics
Cambria County is a lower-cost housing market. The median rent is $701.50, below the Pennsylvania median of $839 and the national median of $840.25. The median home value of $103,050 is also well under the state figure of $168,550 and the national figure of $173,750, which makes buying a home here considerably cheaper than in most of the state.
Property taxes are a different story. The county's median property tax rate is 1.19%, a little under the state rate of 1.3% but well above the national rate of 0.74%. Even with a rate above the national level, the low home values keep the actual tax bill modest for many owners.
The median household income is $60,224, compared with $63,611 across Pennsylvania and $65,108 nationally, so incomes run somewhat lower than the benchmarks. The unemployment rate of 2.58% is lower than both the state rate of 2.84% and the national rate of 2.87%, which points to steady employment relative to the wider region.
Only 14.18% of occupied housing in Cambria County is renter-occupied, compared with 19.64% in the state and 21.81% nationally. Homeownership is the norm here, and the combination of low rents, low home prices and modest incomes describes an affordable, owner-oriented market.
