The city

The job is in Harrisburg, PA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Harrisburg compares. Among the 100 largest places in Pennsylvania, Harrisburg is #10 by population, #95 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #10 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #85 for household income (#1 = highest). Its county, Dauphin County, is #9 of 67 counties for average pay ($68,012).

The place in numbers

Harrisburg has 50,287 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.4% of the population of Pennsylvania. It covers 8 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 6,194 people per square mile. The median age is 33.4, 18% younger than the state median (33.4 against 40.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,062 a month (rent plus utilities), 12% below the state median ($1,062 against $1,209). Over a year that is 26.5% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $124,200, which is 2.6 times the median household income ($48,099); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 36.6% of households own their home, 47% below the state average (36.6% against 69.3%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA metropolitan area has 335,010 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $49,610 a year, about the same as the national median ($49,610 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are transportation and material moving (44,300 jobs, median $44,830); office and administrative support (38,700 jobs, median $47,260); business and financial operations (25,110 jobs, median $76,910). The area is most specialised in transportation and material moving (1.5 times) and healthcare support (1.3 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($109,780) and computer and mathematical ($95,580). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Dauphin County was 3.2%. 64.3% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Dauphin County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 57.5% drive alone, 5.2% use public transit, 7.5% walk, 15.8% work from home. 5.3% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 67% below the state average (5.3% against 16.4%).

People and education

25.9% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 26% below the state share (25.9% against 35.2%). 9.5% of residents were born outside the United States, 23% above the state share (9.5% against 7.7%). The poverty rate is 30.5%, 160% above the state rate (30.5% against 11.7%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 75°F (23.9°C), and the coolest is Jan at 27°F (-2.8°C). About 1,153 mm (45 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Sep is the wettest month (119 mm) and Feb the driest (68 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
