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.

Lancaster County, not Cambridge
Lancaster County context, not Cambridge figures
These are Lancaster County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cambridge measurements.
- Establishments in Lancaster County13,776
- Employment at those establishments, Lancaster County249,379
- Covered employment, Lancaster County252,045
- Average annual pay, Lancaster County$59,966
- Average weekly wage, Lancaster County$1,153
- Housing units permitted, Lancaster County1,184
- Of those, single family, Lancaster County755
- County product, 2024, Lancaster County$39,951,127,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lancaster County5.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lancaster County$71,303
Every figure in this section is published for Lancaster County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cambridge. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Cambridge questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Cambridge, Pennsylvania?
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.
Is Cambridge in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Cambridge appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 421564, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Cambridge figures?
No, and they are labelled 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?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
