Median Household Income in Pennsylvania
Navigating the landscape of county assistance programs in Pennsylvania often hinges on understanding the median household income within the state.
These programs typically set their eligibility criteria based on household income, with a common threshold being 80% of the median income specific to the county of residence.
To assess potential qualification for such programs, individuals must align their household income with the corresponding figures provided in the chart below, considering gross annual income before taxes.
However, accurately determining gross annual income can pose challenges, especially when factoring in variables like bonuses or overtime pay. In such cases, consulting with a mortgage loan officer can provide clarity on whether income limits are met.
It's probable that the income for 2024 will be available in June.

FAQs About Median Household Income in PA
The median household income represents the midpoint of income distribution in a specific region. It is the income level where half of the households earn more and the other half earn less. This value is determined by arranging all households' incomes in ascending order and identifying the income of the middle household, which has an equal number of households above and below it.
How does the median household income differ from the average household income?
In contrast, the average (or mean) household income for a given area is calculated by dividing the total household income by the number of households in that region. This figure represents the income each household would have if income were distributed equally among all households.SOURCE:
