Cheshire Village, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Cheshire Village CDP is a mid-size town in Connecticut, with 6,049 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #59 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 50.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Cheshire Village CDP earn a median of $114,923 a year, 46.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cheshire Village CDP is valued at $393,200, 29.6% above the national figure and 14% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,090 a month, 22.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 50.3 puts Cheshire Village CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
