Median household income is $57,679, below $63,611 for Pennsylvania and $65,108 nationally. Employment conditions are favorable, though: the unemployment rate of 2.01% is lower than both the state rate of 2.84% and the national rate of 2.87%.
Renter-occupied housing accounts for 23.98% of occupied homes, higher than the state's 19.64% and the national 21.81%. A larger share of renters in a county with low rents and lower incomes is consistent with a market that includes a student and working-age population seeking affordable housing.
