Cambridge, Pennsylvania: commercial real estate data.

Underlined figures are computed by MMCG Analytics, not published by the agency.
This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Cambridge through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 576 with a margin of error of plus or minus 351, which is 60.9 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Common questions

576, in 141 households. Cambridge CDP covers 0.89 square miles of land, which is 650 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Cambridge in?
Cambridge lies in more than one. By area it is 94.3 percent in Lancaster County, 5.7 percent in Chester County. This page sits under Lancaster County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
Are the county figures on this page Cambridge figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lancaster County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Cambridge.
Is zoning published for Cambridge?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
