Bigelow Corners, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Bigelow Corners CDP is a very small community in Connecticut, with 841 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #167 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 26.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bigelow Corners CDP earn a median of $117,396 a year, 49.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bigelow Corners CDP is valued at $443,300, 46.1% above the national figure and 29% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 26.3 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 841 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bigelow Corners CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Bigelow Corners CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
