Allegheny County · Pittsburgh, PA · Population 34,383
Churchill, PA (ZIP 15235) sits in Allegheny County within the Pittsburgh metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $35,874. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $63,394, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 670,637 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. FEMA has issued 18 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972. Only 4.7% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 26.4% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 7,266 residents (2,670 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $59,612, fair market rent of $1,330 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $171,284, up 2.1% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
