Living costs & local context

Budget context for York city, Pennsylvania

Median monthly gross rent$1,0142020–2024 ACS · 2024 dollars · margin of error ±$49
Median household income$48,4202020–2024 ACS · 2024 dollars · margin of error ±$4,892
Resident population estimate44,9382020–2024 ACS · margin of error ±66
Pennsylvania price level97.6BEA regional price parity · 2024 · US = 100

Gross rent combines contract rent with the estimated average monthly cost of tenant-paid utilities and fuels. It describes occupied rental housing, not current asking rents, student accommodation or the cost of a room in a shared home. Household income is not an individual worker’s salary.

The state price index compares the overall price of goods and services with the national average. An index of 97.6 is approximately 2.4% below the national price level. It is context for planning, not a multiplier for a personal budget or a cost-adjusted salary.
