The population density was {{convert|9,258.6|PD/sqmi|PD/km2|sp=us|adj=off}}. There were 13,007 housing units at an average density of {{convert|2,865.0|/sqmi|/km2|sp=us|adj=off}}. The racial makeup of the borough was 83.2% [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], 3.8% [[African American (U.S. Census)|Black or African American]], 0.2% [[Native American (U.S. Census)|Native American]], 9.8% [[Asian (U.S. Census)|Asian]], 1.0% [[Race (U.S. Census)|Other]], and 2.0% from two or more races. 3.9% of the population were of [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]] or [[Latino (U.S. Census)|Latino]] ancestry. 22,681 or 54.0% of borough residents were males and 19,353 or 46.0% were females. A 2014 estimate had the racial makeup of the borough as 78.9% Non-Hispanic White, 5.6% Black or African American, 0.5% Native American and Alaska Native, 11.5% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 0.8% Some other race, and 2.2% two or more races. 4.4% were Hispanic or Latino (of any race).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov|title=U.S. Census website|publisher=United States Census Bureau|website=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 14, 2017}}</ref> Of the 12,610 households, 9.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 18.2% were married couples living together, 3.8% had a female householder with no husband present, 2.4% had a male householder with no wife present, and 75.6% were non-families. 33.6% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.30 and the average family size was 2.71. The age distribution of the borough was overwhelmingly influenced by its student population: 5.1% of the population was under the age of 18, 70.6% from 18 to 24, 13.1% from 25 to 44, 6.5% from 45 to 64, and 4.7% was 65 years of age or older. The median age was 22 years. The median income for a household in the borough was $23,513, and the median income for a family was $58,953. The per capita income for the borough was $13,336. 46.9% of the population and 9.8% of families were below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 10.6% of those under the age of 18 and 2.2% of those 65 and older were living below the poverty line. However, traditional measures of income and poverty can be very misleading when applied to a community like State College that is dominated by students. The population of the [[Happy Valley (Pennsylvania)|State College]] [[metropolitan statistical area]] was 153,990 as of the 2010 U.S. census.
