Although annual income is affected by multiple factors, location is an influence. Federal data show, for example, that urban residents with at least a high school diploma make more than their rural counterparts. To gauge that influence in Pa., Stacker analyzed household earnings by geography to determine the Commonwealth’s highest earning cities.

The analysis looked at five years’ of U.S. Census Bureau data and ranked cities — defined as communities with 3,000+ households — by estimated 2019 median incomes.

Bucks County had solid representation in the mid-range of the ranking

Doylestown came in at No. 12. The median household income was reported at $74,243, which is 18.1 percent above the national average.

Thirty-nine percent of Doylestown residents earn more than $100,000 per year, and only seven percent of them bring in less than $15,000 annually.

Number 10 on the Stacker list was Perkasie.

Residents there bring in an average of $77,420 per year, out earning the rest of the nation by 23.2 percent.

Yearly annual incomes of at least $100,000 are brought in by 40.7 percent of household earners in Perkasie. At the other end of the scale, only 7.2 percent of residents live on less than $15,000 each year.

The highest earning city in Pa. is Franklin Park, a borough in Allegheny County. Its workforce earns an average $134,688 yearly.
